Amanda Zieba Learning with the Word Nerd | First Chapter Friday The Girl Who Drank the Moon || MG Fantasy @AmandaZiebatheWordNerd | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Friday, September 6, 2024 - In this week’s First Chapter Friday video the word nerd Amanda Zieba reads aloud chapter 1 of Kelly Barnhill’s Newbery Award Winning book, The Girl Who Drank the Moon. If you love magic, dragons, and myths you are going to love this epic middle grade fantasy! With more than a million copies sold, Newbery Medal winner The Girl Who Drank the Moon is a must-read for fans of classic children's literature or timeless fantasy fables.
QUICK NOTE - The video says there is a mystery quote... but there is not. I'm not sure how the error occurred, but I can't add it in now that the video is posted and don't want to mess people up by changing the link with a new upload. Forgive me pretty please!!
Blurb: Every year, the people of the Protectorate leave a baby as an offering to the witch who lives in the forest. They hope this sacrifice will keep her from terrorizing their town. But the witch in the Forest, Xan, is kind. She shares her home with a wise Swamp Monster and a Perfectly Tiny Dragon. Xan rescues the children and delivers them to welcoming families on the other side of the forest, nourishing the babies with starlight on the journey. One year, Xan accidentally feeds a baby moonlight instead of starlight, filling the ordinary child with extraordinary magic. Xan decides she must raise this girl, whom she calls Luna, as her own. As Luna’s thirteenth birthday approaches, her magic begins to emerge—with dangerous consequences. Meanwhile, a young man from the Protectorate is determined to free his people by killing the witch. Deadly birds with uncertain intentions flock nearby. A volcano, quiet for centuries, rumbles just beneath the earth’s surface. And the woman with the Tiger’s heart is on the prowl . . .
