Footprints on the Moon by Lorraine Marwood
4.0
This is one of those middle grade reads that should be compulsory reading.
Set in 1969, FOTM follows Sharnie who is trying to navigate high school and her family disagreements while the Vietnam War rages on across the ocean. There are themes of morality and mortality as well as bullying, family arguments and the death of a loved one.
This book is written in prose so beautifully that it makes the heavy subject matter a lot more digestible. It evokes so many emotions in me and I was equality able to finish it in one sitting. I can’t wait for my daughters to be old enough so I can share it with them.
