THE NO 1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND NEWBERY MEDAL WINNER ‘This beautifully written, darkly funny coming-of-age story will enchant and entertain’ Daily Mail Every year, the people of the Protectorate leave a baby as an offering to the witch who lives in the forest. They hope this sacrifice will keep her from terrorizing their town. But the witch in the Forest, Xan, is in fact a good witch who shares her home with a wise Swamp Monster and a Perfectly Tiny Dragon. Xan rescues the children and delivers them to welcoming families on the other side of the forest, nourishing the babies with starlight on the journey. 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 thirteenth birthday approaches, her magic begins to emerge – with dangerous consequences. Meanwhile, a young man from the Protectorate is determined to free his people by killing the witch. Deadly birds with uncertain intentions flock nearby. A volcano, quiet for centuries, rumbles just beneath the earth’s surface. And the woman with the Tiger’s heart is on the prowl . . . The Newbery Medal winner from the author of the highly acclaimed novel The Witch’s Boy.

Title: Book condition
Review: I recieved it in good condition ❤️Review:I loved this book so much. It’s a great fantasy read having a world brimming with captivating characters and an inventive backdrop. I liked the storytelling method of Kelly and was engrossed in the book since the initial chapters.🪄From the moment Luna was born, her fate seemed sealed as a sacrificial offering to an evil witch. But, as the story unfolds, it takes an unexpected turn. The witch, known as Xan, defies all expectations and becomes Luna’s savior and brings her to family consisting of Glerk, the swamp monster, and Fyrian, the small dragon. Throughout the centuries, Xan has rescued countless babies like Luna, nurturing them with goat’s milk and the enchanting essence of starlight. This mystical elixir grants these infants extraordinary strength while Xan tirelessly searches for a secure haven for them. However, when it comes to Luna, a remarkable error occurs. Unintentionally, Xan feeds her not just any light, but the radiant power of moonlight. This celestial mishap bestows upon Luna an abundance of magical abilities, setting her apart from the rest.As Luna grows, her magic is unstopable and truths begin to unfold about the place and her people and where she came from.🪄Grand Elder Gherland, the esteemed leader of the town harbored a hidden secret, finding pleasure in The Day of Sacrifice while keeping the truth concealed from the townspeople. However, his nephew Antain, an aspiring Elder, began to question the entire process as he approached his thirteenth birthday and who by 18 years of age is getting Ill since 5 years on this particular day.It also introduced a madwoman residing at the top of a tower, surrounded by her paper birds. As the story unfolded, I delved into the emotions and experiences of various individuals, including Sister Ignatia, Wyn, Ethyne, and many more and loved it.As I was reading i didn’t want to put this book down for even a bit and visualising the world of a fantasy book is a surreal experience. 💕

Review: I recently read “The Girl Who Drank the Moon” and it quickly became one of my favorite books. This enchanting story, written by Kelly Barnhill, is a deserving winner of the prestigious 2017 Newbery Medal.The novel is a beautifully crafted tale of magic, mystery, and adventure that captivated me from the very first page. The characters are vividly drawn and I found myself deeply invested in their journeys and the connections they form with each other.One of the most compelling aspects of the book is the lyrical prose and rich world-building. Barnhill’s writing is both poetic and poignant, drawing the reader into a world of wonder and imagination. The narrative is full of twists and turns, keeping me on the edge of my seat throughout.The themes of love, sacrifice, and the power of stories are woven seamlessly throughout the book, making it both thought-provoking and emotionally resonant. By the time I reached the end, I was deeply moved by the profound messages and the satisfying resolution.I highly recommend “The Girl Who Drank the Moon” to readers of all ages who enjoy a compelling and beautifully written fantasy story. It is a true gem of a book that will stay with me long after I have turned the final page.

Review: Format: HardcoverGenre: Fantasy/YA/Childrens/MagicReview: I started reading this book with my 11 year-old daughter. She, like her mother, loves magic, fantasy, the moon, and the stars, and this book seemed like the perfect one to capture her attention (she isn’t big on reading). And for awhile, it was. We made it to chapter 13 (about 1/4 of the way through the book) before some more violent descriptions, blended with my, ahem, rather dramatic reading style, scared her too badly for her to continue wanting to read the story. Despite being very into it myself at that point, I put it to the side in the hopes that she would come around. She never did.So, months later, I picked it back up on my own and binged the rest of it.The Girl Who Drank the Moon is a perfect blend of darkness and light. We see both the good and the bad in humanity, the love, the kindness, the care, but also the fear, the decisions made from places of desperation, and the decisions made from places of control. There are no one-dimensionally “good” or “bad” characters in the story. All of them are “flawed” to some degree. They are all so very human. Even the very worst of the worst show gentleness and warmth towards certain characters, care and love that they may not want to feel but undoubtedly do. That raw humanity is what makes the book so powerful.Not that alone, of course. Kelly Barnhill is a great writer. I probably don’t need to mention that – after all, she won the Newbery Medal for this novel. But I will reiterate it. She’s a great writer. Her style draws you in and keeps you reading, which is especially important in books aimed for children since their attention spans can be incredibly limited. The skill she has when weaving her words together, blended with the strength of her characters, makes this a powerhouse of a children’s novel.Am I upset that my daughter couldn’t finish it? No. Perhaps disappointed, but not upset. I hope that in time, she’ll come back to it on her own. She’ll decide when she can face the darker aspects this book brings to the fore. Until then, it will sit on my shelf, a lovely reminder of time spent reading with my little girl, and a story that I won’t soon forget.
