Great for all ages! I read this book as a child and absolutely feel in love with it. Space travel, riding butterflies, and talking snowflakes were more my world than that I lived in. Somehow my original copy disappeared and after remembering the book from time to time I decided it was time to read it again. I was just as pleased with it the second read through as I was the first, and I found more layers and depth to the story from an adult perspective. I highly recommend this book!
A wonderful book I read this book when I was twelve years old, and I loved it. T.A. Barron is one of the greatest authors to come along since Madeleine L'Engle and Lloyd Alexander. His books sit alongside the greats.
Butterfly to the Stars If you long for the days of the Heinlein juveniles or the Time series of Madline L'Engle, then this book is for you.
The Earth's sun is dying and has been given just three years to live. A young girl and her grandfather travel to the most spectacular sun in the galaxy to try and find a cure. They travel using butterflies and sillyscience (I mean superscience). Girl and grandfather find themselves on a planet of intelligent polygons in the middle of a battle with a great star eating evil.
A very fun book involving strange aliens, amazing stars and moral lessons for all.
Not Spectacular. If you look up a list for the top ten worst science fiction books ever, chances are you will see this book on that list.
Somehow, I don't see a great plot here. I almost had to force myself to finish this book. It seems almost directed to little kids in the way that it's about this young girl who's grandfather is this great scientist. When he suddenly disappears, she has to find out where he is and how to save him. Big deal. Compared to other works by T.A. Barron, I'd say that this one is very disappointing. Books by Garth Nix and "A Wrinkle in Time" prove to be much more entertaining than this book.
umm...a title for this review This book was great. It captivates you and you won't want to but it down.
I don't think this should be age level 9-12, it seems to me to fit more under young adult.
