I bought this on a whim, and hoped that I would like it, because I really hate buying books that end up being dissapointing. Thankfully, this book was well written and had a great plot, so no worries there. I liked the way people spoke in it (reminding me lovingly of the secret garden) and the story was just lovely.
Too slow, and too long for what boils down to a fairly simple plot. The climax and ending, at least, were moderately satisfying.
I enjoy The Moorchild every time I read it. It's a story about a girl who doesn't fit into either of the worlds from which she comes and what she decides to do about it.
Wonderfully written! A great story for anyone who's felt different and unaccepted by others.
I started this book a few hours ago and DEVOURED IT. What a delightful story that blends fantasy and contemporary so well.
It’s about a young girl, Saaski, half moorfolk and half human, who is banished from her home in The Mound and switched with a human child. As she grows older she struggles with the idea of trying to be a “normal” human child and deal with her memories of being one of the Folk. Where does she belong?
It’s a magical story. Dedicated, “to all the children who have ever felt different,” this book was written for everyone because I believe we’ve all felt different at some point in our lives.

I feel like I should be a lot more generous with 3 stars because I really need something between 4 stars (I LOVED IT!!!) and 2 stars (I HATED IT!!!). Sometimes you read a book that you genuinely enjoy and makes you happy but it doesn't quite deserve to be with your other 4 stars but it also certainly isn't 2 stars...so maybe that's why I should use 3 stars but even that doesn't feel quite right and aaaaagggggghhhhh...
WHY DO WE EVEN HAVE STARS.
*groans*
This isn't even a book review this is just a ramble about how annoying (and unreliable) star ratings can be.

This book by Eloise McGraw is about the mythical creature known as a changeling. This story follows the life of Saaski who discovers and remembers that she is not completely human as she had thought she'd been and as suspected by those who lived in her small town. She finds out that she is only half human and is the offspring of a fisherman who had fallen in love with a faerie or known in the book Folk. She is switched with a human baby and grows up in the human world. After discovering her true heritage she sets out to set things right and to discover who she truly is.
I thought this book was quite interesting. Elose McGraw brings in fun and enjoyable characters. The book was entertaining with the various characters and the mystery of Sasski's journey. I would recommend this to anyone interested in faerie folklore and stories about finding oneself.

Juuuust a 3 I think. Cute but too long. Granted I’m not the target audience but if my focus was wandering I imagine a child’s probably would, too.
Note: g*psy slur and stereotypes are abundant.
