Product details
The Girl Who Drank Moonlight by Kelly Barnhill... The witch Xan lives in the forest with the Marsh Monster and a small dragon. Every year on Sacrificial Day, the inhabitants of the Sanctuary leave a baby in the forest as an offering to her to appease her evil. But she wasn't evil as they claimed; in fact, she rescued these babies without knowing why they were left in the forest. She cared for them, fed them with starlight, and then sent them to adoptive families in the Independent Cities. One day, the witch made a grave mistake: she fed a baby moonlight instead of starlight. This mistake would change their fate forever. The witch decided to raise the child herself and named her Luna, meaning moon. When Luna turns thirteen, her hidden magical powers are unleashed. At the same time, a young man from the reserve decides to kill the witch they believe to be evil. Will the young man succeed? What will Luna do in response? And how will she use her magical powers? We will find out by reading this exciting novel.
