Summary
Every year, the people of the Protectorate leave a baby as an offering to the witch who lives in the forest. But Xan is in fact a good witch who rescues the children.
One year, Xan accidentally feeds a baby moonlight instead of starlight, filling the ordinary child with extraordinary magic. Xan decides she must raise this girl, whom she calls Luna, as her own. As Luna's 13th birthday approaches, her magic begins to emerge - with dangerous consequences....

Exceptional, however old you are...
She is here... she is here...she is here.....
Kelly Barnhill's tale of magic, monsters, witches and dragons is so much more than I might have hoped. The prose is poetic and often achingly beautiful. The characters are clear, strong and engaging and the story is gentle, horrifying, tender and compelling. Christina Moore's narration is one of the best I've heard; frequently with audiobooks I find myself re-imagining how the characters might otherwise sound, Christina's fabulous voice and engagement with the story meant that no such 'editing' was needed or appropriate.
I can't recommend this enough as a 43 year-old man and my 11 year-old daughter agrees.

Loved it!
Such a wonderful, terrible, heartwarming and heartbreaking story for children of all ages.
Best narration I've ever heard!? Her different voices made the characters come to life. Truly theatrical!
It's about magic, and sorrow. Death, and childhood, and growing up. Hope, love, wonder, and the mother-daughter bond (if you like the Disney movie Brave you'll love this!!). And yet it's more fun and silly than sobby! The good-vs-evil divide is complex, and isn't quite defined until the end.
Definitely making my 7th grade classroom listen through this!
