Kapan terakhir kali anda membaca kisah anak-anak yang tidak dipenuhi dengan ibu peri dan sihir yang merubah seorang gadis menjadi seorang putri yang menikah dengan seorang pangeran?
Clair de Lune memiliki kisah yang sangat sederhana. Tentang seorang gadis yang tidak bisa berbicara dan seekor tikus yang bisa berbicara, bernama Bonaventura. Clair de Lune tidak bisa berbicara, bukan karena dia sakit, tetapi karena ada bagian dirinya yang hilang. Dibesarkan oleh nenek-nya dalam bayang-ba More...

Did you grow up reading E. Nesbit, Enid Blyton, C. S. Lewis, Hans Christian Anderson, Andrew Lang's Fairy Books, Water Babies, Sadler's Wells ...?
Or were you raised on something more like The Day My Bum Went Psycho?
Well, I won't judge you. I like bums as much as the rest of us, being, in fact, an owner of one myself. And there's barely a child who grew up in Australia in the 90s who has not been joyfully disgusted More...

Clair-de-Lune by Cassandra Golds – The Mouse, The Monk and the Moonlight Ballerina...
“Once upon a time – one hundred years ago, and half as many years again – there lived a girl called Clair-de-Lune, who could not speak”
So we meet our heroine, Clair-de-Lune, who lives at the top of a very tall, very narrow, very old building with her Grandmother, Madame Nuit. Clair-de-Lune has not spoken a word since the night her mother, the great ballerina La Lune, died onstage…

Claire-de-Lune is studying ballet to follow in her mother's footsteps. But Claire is pitifully poor and underfed and living at the top story of a building with her grandmother. Claire's mother died of a broken heart at the end of a performance at the age of eighteen and, although she was only a baby then, Claire has been mute her entire life.
Her grandmother does not want to lose another child to a broken heart, so she has brought Claire up without much love or knowledge of it--the More...

I give it 3.5 stars. Romantic names and surroundings (Madame Nuit, La Lune, Clair-de-Lune--like one of my favorite classical pieces), simple yet moving story, yet I don't like the ending. Too abrupt and to me, not that satisfying. (Several points are not quite clear to me.)

I gave at least four stars for the books that made me cry :'( this is too sad for a children book! (well, it is labeled famlit not childrenlit)
the story is about clair-de-lune, a talented ballet dancer, she can't talk and is really really poor. she lives with her grandmama who was also a ballet dancer while her mother had passed away.
clair-de-lune also has a friend, Bonaventure, a dancing mouse whose dream is to have dancing school for mice.
I never like a story with More...

Clair-de-Lune adalah calon penari yang berbakat. Ia adalah anak La Luna, bintang di Perusahaan Tari yang meninggal ketika sedang menari di panggung. Tapi, sayang, ia tidak dapat bicara sejak ia masih bayi. Bersama neneknya, ia tinggal di sebuah puncak menara yang sempit, aneh dan tua. Karena ia tidak pernah berbicara, Clair-de-Lune dicap sombong oleh temant-teman sesama penari balet. Sebab lain adalah karena Clair-de-Lune menjadi 'anak emas' Monsieur Dupoint

2,5 actually.
Imajinasinya menarik, tapi ceritanya terkesan depresif. Mungkin karena claire de lune diceritakan sebagai tokoh yang tidak bisa bicara. (hanya satu orang yang bisa mendengarnya)

Disclaimer: the author is one of my dearest friends, I read this in manuscript and I launched it, so I am hardly a dispassionate reader! But I genuinely love it—it is a romantic, tender, old-fashioned fantasy of ballet, broken hearts and Bonaventure, a dancing mouse.
That, dear reader, should give you an idea of its audience!

sweet,touching story about a little girls who cannot speak, and a real ballerina. That ballerina is a mice, and that mice gave the girl inspiration to do better in dancing. well, not just in dancing, but in life literally, that you're not going to giving up no matter what 'the line' says. Inspiring.

This is one of the best books I've ever read! This book is about a mute dancer that learns that you don't have to be able to talk to express yourself. This book is good for young girls that want to be inspired.
