Luna has lived in her stilt village all of her life, but her
elders remember a time before the swamp took over. When Luna’s sister catches the swamp curse,
Luna has to be brave in order to save not only young Willow, but her entire
village. Luna’s story intersects with
that of Perdita, a sprite who ventures too far one day and is left behind when
her fairy family escapes to a safer, new home.
Luna’s courage frames a gentle new fantasy perfect to read
aloud as a bedtime story or for a younger reader who needs something longer
than a chapter book.
