Gae Polisner’s In Sight of Stars follows Klee Alden, a senior in high school, through his recovery at a hospital in Northhollow. He is recovering from an injury he caused to himself, but also from the mental troubles he endures from many events from his past. Living with only his mother after his father’s suicide, Klee struggles to maintain his composure with family and friends. One event of betrayal, however, pushes him over the edge. The story builds as Klee recovers both mentally and physically, and as he tries to find out the truth that will put the hardships of his past to rest. The book is told in alternating timelines, building up Klee’s progress in the present, and connecting it back to events in his past. However, this style often feels too frantic, darting too quickly from event to event without letting the information settle for the reader. The switching of timelines can be an interesting way to tell a story, but if it is too fast and does not give the story enough time to build off the new parts, it can become confusing to keep track of. The story is fairly interesting; however, the way Polisner chooses to tell it makes it somewhat difficult to read.
