smjarvi 's review for:

The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill
4.0

Rounded down from 4.5 stars. The only thing that kept me from giving 5 stars is the book was overlong. The climax was set up way too early and then about 80 pages were spent coasting along, saying the same thing over and over. Overall, a wonderful book, if a bit too sophisticated for the readers at my elementary school. Would highly recommend for sixth grade and up.
