Summary

Every year, the people of the Protectorate leave a baby as an offering to the witch who lives in the forest. But Xan is in fact a good witch who rescues the children. 

One year, Xan accidentally feeds a baby moonlight instead of starlight, filling the ordinary child with extraordinary magic. Xan decides she must raise this girl, whom she calls Luna, as her own. As Luna's 13th birthday approaches, her magic begins to emerge - with dangerous consequences....

Truly beautiful

so good and well writen. kids have listened to it a few times, I always pick up something new. very few kids books are this well written and with strong female leads. It made me (m38) cry laugh and punch the air.

I wish I could give more stars

This book deserves to win an accolade. The writing is sublime, the characters are rich, the story is like a classic fairytale. its such a tender, ethereal and heartbreaking tale of love and whatever love may mean to us. It's about creation. the world's and lives we create and the ones that are created for us. it's about so much more. too much to attempt to describe here. sometimes when I hear a good audio book I wish I had read it first, but not on this occasion. the narration needs it's own special mention because its the best I've heard on ANY audio book. it's hard to believe it's one person doing the characters. Her tone matches the feel of the book beautifully.
A true classic.

Exceptional, however old you are...

She is here... she is here...she is here.....

Kelly Barnhill's tale of magic, monsters, witches and dragons is so much more than I might have hoped. The prose is poetic and often achingly beautiful. The characters are clear, strong and engaging and the story is gentle, horrifying, tender and compelling. Christina Moore's narration is one of the best I've heard; frequently with audiobooks I find myself re-imagining how the characters might otherwise sound, Christina's fabulous voice and engagement with the story meant that no such 'editing' was needed or appropriate.

I can't recommend this enough as a 43 year-old man and my 11 year-old daughter agrees.
