This is a wonderfully imaginative story about a young girl named, Luna, who finds out literally what she is made of and who she is meant to be. This is the story of sorrow, of hope, of joy, of redemption. The story poses the question...Will you feed your soul with sorrow or will you feed your soul with hope. Very moving story. Very worthy of it's Newberry Medal

Fans of Harry Potter will like this book. This is a modern telling of old fable based characters - a wicked witch, a tower,, a dragon, a swamp monster, a mourning mother, a town who has done the same thing every year without questioning why and a special little girl. While the tale was not a deep as Potter books, it does manage to convey a moral tale about doing what is right and not hiding your magic. I would look forward to more tales featuring Luna,
