Sisters of the Moon

Author: Marie-Louise Fitzpatrick

Suzy Button is grieving the loss of her mother and coming to terms with life without the most important person in her life. She can’t fit in at school and she can’t see how she will ever be happy again. She wishes only for the past and is terribly lonely. In desperation she finds herself performing a moon ritual and making wishes about the changes she wants to happen in her life.

And then into her school walks Rhiannon – a free spirit whose attitude, way with words and refusal to accept the status quo take Suzy on the adventure of lifetime and a journey of discovery. Rhiannon is a great friend to Suzy and she helps her to understand how to be true to herself and to negotiate teenage life with all its ups and downs. But Rhiannon is also something of an enigma and there is so much about her that Suzy can’t understand or reach.

Sisters of the Moon has all the elements of a great teenage story. It has friendship and enemies, romance, parties as well as laughter with wild and kind of dangerous escapades. It also has unexplainable events, a couple of dead bodies (mostly rabbits), a school trip to a burial ground, a photoshoot on a roof – and magic.

This is a compelling story with much action to keep the reader turning pages and involved in the plot right up to its mystical ending. Suzy Button is a girl who makes friends with the moon and in doing so she realises that her life can be both magical and normal once again.
