The Green Book by Jill Paton Walsh
3.0

I loved the concept and the descriptive writing is, as always from JPW, wonderfully evocative. I wanted it to be longer and a little less simple, although, as it is written from a child’s point of view, it is as it is.
The moth creatures were amazing and the scene where they are playing with the children is beautiful.
Lack of communication between the group, both before departing Earth and during their troubles, causes all sorts of problems, including multiple copies of the same book in a library of few.
