- Baker & Taylor
Overwhelmed by their depression, Moon escapes into the spirit realm every night where their friend Wolf lives, but when the realm is threatened, they embark on a magical adventure of love and acceptance that spills over into the real world. Simultaneous eBook. - Baker & Taylor
Moon is convinced that they do not belong to this world: that most of the time they are invisible (unless they stay still too long), that they belong to the stars, and want to go back to them--they live entirely in their imagination with an imaginary spirit guide who can appear in any shape and refuses to speak to anyone, lest their words tie them to a world they reject. - Scholastic
Kacen Callender, National Book Award winner of King and the Dragonflies, delivers a stunning novel that invites readers into a childâs struggles with mental health, and their journey to wholeness.Moonâs depression is overwhelming. Therapy doesnât help, and Moon is afraid that their mom hates them because theyâre sad. Moonâs only escape is traveling to the spirit realms every night, where they hope theyâll never return to the world of the living again.
The spirit realm is where they have their one and only friend, Wolf, and where theyâre excited to experience an infinite number of adventures. But when the realm is threatened, itâs up to Moon to save the spirit world.
With the help of celestial beings and guardÂians, Moon battles monsters and shadows, and through their journey, they begin to learn that a magical adventure of love and acceptance awaits them in the world of the living, too.
This story of hope shows readers that our souls blossom when we realize that we are as worthy and powerful as the universe itself.
