This book is about three couldn't be different teens thrown together to watch a solar eclipse. Each teen has a unique voice and the chapters alternate between their perspectives. Ally, lives at a campground called "Moon Shadow" which has been preparing for the eclipse for years. Bree's family much to the surprise of Ally is taking over the campground after the eclipse. Jack ends up at "Moon Shadow" with his science teacher in lieu of summer school. There are lots of other colorful characters as well. I love the writing and the book is full of witty moments. One of my favorites is betwen Ally and Bree at the building called the "Art House". Ally is explaining to Bree that the images painted on the walls belong to the people who made them and Bree responds with, "I don't think that's what art is ...once it's out there, it's for everyone."
A few other good one liners from the book that I enjoyed are:
"The vastness of space always puts my problems in perspective"
"Life is short, but it's wide."
A bit cliche, but important nonetheless.
