wileyacez 's review for:

The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill
5.0

Charming, utterly charming. I saw the review of this and could not resist purchasing it. I've read it and will now pass it along to a beloved great-niece who will hopefully enjoy it in a few more years. A wonderful fable about a village of sadness and how it is rescued. Witches are not all evil; dragons are not all giants; and good magic is wondrous. This story of Xan, Glerk, Fyrian, Luna and a cast of supporting characters is a powerful antidote for the sorrows that build up on a daily basis.
