The Shadow Tribe: The Girl with the Stars by Jaffrey ClarkMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Girl with the Stars by Jaffrey Clark is the second book in The Shadow Tribe series. Joby meets Tara, just another homeless kid, and they search for answers to a mystery.
I read the first three books and found The Shadow Tribe to be a quite engaging series. With wonderful writing, Clark has a way of bringing his characters to life and making us care for them. We see their struggles and feel their torment. While the series starts out with us meeting Joby, we are introduced to an array of wonderful, and not so wonderful people. The setting is like any other city that has its wealthy and poor, but Clark puts you in that city as if you were actually living there yourself.
With great descriptions, Clark's imagination and character development takes us into Joby's world. Full of mystery and intrigue, and did I forget to mention magic? Yes, magic, as with a lot of fantasy, Clark adds an element of magic that I've not read about bringing something new to the genre. I highly recommend this series to middle graders and adults alike.
