Review

"Stars Above" is a collection of short stories that are backstories to the characters in Marissa Meyer's "Lunar Chronicle" series. In these stories, you will find the explanations on how Scarlett came to live with her grandmother, Cinder's cyborg childhood and the connections made between all of the main characters in the series.

It is an action packed, fast paced and a well written book that will be enjoyed by the "Lunar Chronicles" fans. Even if you haven't read any of the books in the series, it would still be enjoyed by those who like the retelling of fairy tales and folklore with a bit of science fiction thrown in for good measure. Suitable for grades 7 or higher.

Overall Book Score: very good
