BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - OPTIONAL
APPEALS TO: SOME
Maisie is SO not happy about spending the summer away from her friends and at her Great-Aunt Hazel’s home instead. It is a bland house in a bland subdivision and Hazel isn’t even home - she’s in a nursing home and Maisie doesn’t get to see her. Her mother has given her Hazel’s old cell phone, though - that could be a plus. Maisie starts receiving odd texts - turns out Maisie has the potential to be a Moonleaper - a connection between past and present, with the power to change lives for the better.
This looks to be the first in a series - it felt like a lot of set up to get to a place I wasn’t sure I wanted to get to. When Haddix is on, she is brilliant. But by 300 pages, I was kind of done.
