Le loup qui avait peur de tout

Product Information

The song tells the story of a young sailor who is about to be eaten by the other sailors. They discuss how to cook the man and what sauce to use. He then prays for the Virgin Mary's intercession and is saved by a miracle. This is not a traditional quest story. It's a story about secrets that can do harm, about misguided protection, about young people needing to grow up to be their true self, about the beauty and pain of motherly love, about the cost of sorrow and healing power of hope. It's beautifully told - such gorgeous writing. It radiates love - but it would not be balanced without some villains.

With a thrilling cast of characters, both human and magical beings, Barnhill has created a magnificent middle-grade read that is as engaging to young readers as it is to adults who wish to feel the flame of resistance warm their hearts in an empowering burst of magical fire.

all this combines effortlessly to create a spell binding tale of family, magic and sorrow. Be prepared to maybe take it a little slower than other books in this age category. It truly is like a fairytale in its slow burning, occasionally repetitive nature, but that just added to its charm for me. For a book geared towards middle grade readers The girl who drank the moon is exceptionally wise. There were so many hidden truths in its many quotable moments - I found myself taking my time with it. Trying to savor it.
