The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐✰

Everyone who lives in the Protectorate has always lived in fear of the witch. Each year they leave an infant in the woods as an offering so she will leave them in peace. The witch, however, is kind and gentle and every year goes and rescues the baby that the Protectorate has abandoned. This is the story of one of those children.

My 9 and 12 year old and I simply adored this book. We fell in love with Luna, Xan, Glerk and Fyrian. Great for grades 4-8.
