OVERALL RATING 9/10
Entrancing, true story, engaging
Listen to the Moon is a sort of entrancing read - I found it hard to put down! The story is fascinating, and unwinds at just the right pace to keep you engaged, always wondering what will come with the next chapter. On top of being an excellent read, this book is actually a true story as well. A fascinating book, quite appropriate for tweens, but a longer read that will appeal to teens and even adults as well.
