I read this in school after it was recommended by the school librarian. Very lyrical and poignant but it was a little depressing to be honest. Callisto is more or less an outcast who is unsure of her own identity and struggles with the revelation that she's pregnant. I found Callisto hard to take at times, she spends so much time in her head and she's a bit whiney. On the other hand she's pregnant by her jerk boyfriend. The romance was unnecessary. The outcome was pretty predictable. It wasn't as good as The Witch in the Lake another Fienberg novel but it was enjoyable. ( )

When I first read this I was too young to understand its and at the time simply dismissed it. After keeping it at the back of my bookshelf for a couple of months I gave it away to a library swap.

A decision I regretted a few years later when I realised that the story/themes had become relevant, interesting and unconventional. But I could not for the life of me remember the name or author.

Now finally by chance I have come across it and am looking to re-read it hopefully with a mature analytical look this time. ( )

I was not a big fan of this book, possibly due to the fact that I'm not too big into astronomy. ( )

OK, even though the one-night stand turn unexpected teen pregnancy is nothing new to the YA bookshelf, this book was a clear exception.
It was beautifully written from the eyes of an unsure teenaged girl called Callisto. She considers herself a 'moon', living off 'borrowed light' off more popular, more beautiful and more entertaining 'stars' (there's the explanation of the title), that is until she falls pregnant to one of those 'stars'.
She aborts the baby, and what seems to be a quick-fix to the result of a futureless teenage relationship haunts Callisto for the rest of her life. The book ends on a happier note, though.
A must read. ( )

Yr 10 - Yr 12
Callisto, influenced by her astrophysicist grandmother, views humanity in terms of celestial bodies. She considers herself to be a moon, living off the "borrowed light" of more charismatic individuals, the stars. Now facing an unwanted pregnancy, 16-year-old Callisto has to stop hiding in the shadows and rely on her own judgment.
The phase between Callisto's pregnancy test and her appointment at an abortion clinic seems to move in slow motion, allowing readers time to grasp and ponder her predicament, her emotions and her complex relationships with her inattentive parents, her science-minded grandmother, her beloved little brother and her callow ex-boyfriend.
