About this listen

Twelve-year-old Luna loves the nighttime more than anything else. It’s when no one gives her “that look” about the half mask she has to wear while healing from a disfiguring car accident. It’s also the perfect time to sit outside and draw what she sees - like the boy and girl from the new family next door that zip out of the window in a zeppelin and up to the stars. At first, she thinks she’s dreaming. But one night they catch her watching. Now Luna spends her nights on adventures with them, as they clean full moons, arrange constellations, and catch jars of stardust. She even gets to make a wish on a shooting star they catch. But Luna learns that no wish is strong enough to erase the past - as much as she may hope to.

Maybe it's my age, but...

...unlike some MG books that are readable for all age groups, TTWSS is meant for early tweens and younger readers. I suppose it's the imaginary balloon that makes the difference. I was hoping it had to do with the medication she was taking, but that never materialized. The story is well written and could I smell the lasagne from here (though being of the same ethnic group I thought the background was a little too rich at times - perhaps that part of me has "worn off" so to speak because amulets and la famiglia holding the dreaded grudge forever (the Thanksgiving argument) hold no interest for me). Still young readers who can manuver through a book of this length would probably enjoy staying with it to the end.
