Diane A. Talbot's Reviews > The Girl Who Drank the Moon

A student of mine could not stop talking about how much she loved this book, so I decided I needed to read it to see if it was as good as she thought. I am so glad I did. This book won the Newberry Award in 2017 and it is well-deserved. It is a lovely fairy tale with compelling characters. The use of language is just delicious; my student and I used words from the book for a series of word investigations. For older children and young adults--and adults-- who love a well-told tale of magic and adventure, this is a wonderful choice. I loved it!
