The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill
3.0

Stand-alone Magical Middle School Read

As a love of all things Harry Potter, I'm always interested in reading magical stories. The Girl Who Drank the Moon was complex and fascinating to read. I could see there being a sequel but is strong enough on its own. As a middle grade level read, a lot of the plot could be seen coming but I liked that it wasn't as watered down as some other middle/YA books can be. I would have enjoyed a bit more complete and fulfilling ending but overall I thought it was charming and unique.
