The Girl Who Drank the Moon
Kelly Barnhill
In the Protectorate, the Elders leave the village’s youngest baby as an annual offering to a witch in the woods. Instead, the ancient witch Xan rescues abandoned babies and takes them to homes elsewhere. One year, Xan accidentally gives a baby moonlight, filling her with magic, and keeps the girl, Luna. As Luna approaches thirteen, she must learn to manage the powers Xan sealed away for her safety.
