A review by everythingawesome
A Girl, a Raccoon, and the Midnight Moon by Karen Romano Young

4.0

I judged this book by its cover ... and probably also by the quote by the author of Ella Enchanted, both of which I love. Pearl is the librarian’s daughter, spends her time in the books, and was even born in the library. Unfortunately, the library is in trouble and when the head of the library’s beloved garden statue is stolen one night, things are looking dire for the future of the library. Pearl sets out on a mission to save her library home and get the community interested in books and reading once again! I enjoyed many aspects of the book and loved all of the characters. It felt a bit long in parts but nerdy middle-readers will love the sidebars and the reporters who work together to tell the story.
