Song of the Moon

'I loved every minute of the story, the characters, and the evolving plot. Few writers can write a book for children that will also appeal to adults. Laycock can.' I hope you enjoy 'Song of the Moon' too!

I read this lovely little book by Helen Laycock over a wild, windy and damp caravanning trip and was readily transported away from the persistent rain to the world of Izzy and her mysterious neighbour. When Mrs Moonsong disappears, it's up to Izzy and her cousin Joe to find her.
As well as having a delightfully entrancing cover, Song Of The Moon is an engaging tale with instantly relatable characters, beautifully painted scenes, believable situations and an exciting story-line that keeps the pages turning.

An enjoyable short read, ideally suited for the middle grade reader. I read this with my 9-year old kid who really enjoyed the themes included. The story revolves around a young girl who befriends an elderly neighbour; a lady who is rumoured by the locals to be a witch. It's a story which demonstrates that friendship should not just be defined by age. Highly recommended.

Helen is an extremely talented writer. The specifics with developing each character is remarkable. Plot is engaging and comes as a teaching to children who are still venturing and moulding to world's designation. A good bed time read for children. Easy to follow rhythm and pace to maintain a generous flow of narrative. Excellent write by the author.
