The book, Star-Crossed by Mimi McCoy, is about a girl named Abby signing up for a mobile horoscope by, Miz Astrid.  Abby didn’t really want to sign up for the mobile horoscope, but Abby’s BFF Chelsea signs her up for it. 

Abby has a perfect life.  She is the star on her track team and gets good grades.  But when Chelsea signs Abby up for the horoscope, everything goes from way, way up, to way, way down.  One example of the good times was when Abby first looked at her horoscope, it said, “Unexpected riches may come your way,” then after her track practice, Abby found a 20 dollar bill lying on the ground!  Another example of the bad days was when Abby’s horoscope read, “Beware distractions and double check everything…”  That same day, Abby was at a track meet, running her hardest.  Their school was going to win this race!!!  But right before the finish line, Abby tripped and landed SMACK on the gravel track and lost.  Later, Abby found out she tripped because she forgot to tie her right shoe lace! 

Will Abby’s luck turn?  Will she ever get a good horoscope by, Miz Astrid?  To find out what happens to Abby in the end of the book, read Star-Crossed, by Mimi McCoy.  I would rate this book a 9 out of 10, ten being the best.  It was a great book, and I enjoyed it very much.  I highly recommend it to girls ages 8-12 or 13.  Thank you for reading my blog and I hope you read the book!
