The Moon Over High Street

Moon Over High Street will attract the attention of readers who enjoyed Tuck Everlasting.  While reading this book by Natalie Babbitt I understood why she has received many awards for her writing.

The story was set around 1965, but it was not outdated at all.  Although the main character, 12-year-old Joe, lost both of his parents when he was a baby, time wasn’t spent dwelling on his loss.  The story was upbeat and moved at a relaxing speed.

In the end, a potentially life changing decision was made when Joe’s grandmother listened to what he had to say.  By believing in him, the family grew closer and better.  If someone needs a reading break from life threatening drama, this could be the book for them. (By Jamie Kenny).
