Moose Baby by Meg Rosoff
5.0
A fabulous short read for young adults (and older).
Great idea: a teenage mother gives birth... To a moose. Which, in this story, is unusual but not unheard of. So we see the accelerated story of parenthood through her loving eyes, with lots of the usual milestones covered, but with slightly different outcomes.
I saw a teenager order this at the library and immediately followed suit, loving Rosoff's longer novels and keen to try shorter fiction that also tells a fun and full story without talking down to readers. I was amused throughout.
Really wanted to hear more! There could be a sequel. Please, Meg?!
