this book was magical and whimsical. i loved the characters and the lessons about love, grief, sorrow, and family. so many people undermine fantasy, especially children’s fantasy, as books that can inform and teach and be learned from, but this one left an impact on me and i don’t think i’ll forget it.

luna is chaotic and funny and emotional and is everything a teenage girl should be, i’m so glad young kids (and us older people too) have her to read about!
