Footprints on the Moon by Lorraine Marwood
4.0
This book was sent to me by UQP and Ausyabloggers to review. All words and opinions are my own.
Footprints on the moon is a middle grade read that I thoroughly enjoyed! It’s set in 1969 during the Vietnam war and took me around 2 hours to devour. It has a writing style that I have never read before, however, I enjoyed it and would read more in the same style.
It centres around Sharnie and her time in high school all while the war is raging. It focus on a lot of themes that I still find quite current, while also giving a lot of information from 1969 as well.
This is a book that I would recommend to my younger cousins, siblings and schools to read to their students. This is due to the fact that is addresses some hard topics that could be helpful to students - bullying, death of loved ones and sickness. It also has sister arguments and making friendships.
Oh, did I mention it also has a GREAT peanut brittle recipe, a cat and mentions lunar gardening!
I think everyone should give this a read and then pass it along to the younger generation!
