The Moorchild

I don’t really know what to say about The Moorchild, by Eloise McGraw. It was the 1997 Newbery honor book. It’s about a half-fairy child that grows up with the humans for a while before she realizes who she is. The dedication says “to all children who have ever felt different” and I guess that’s what the book is about: celebrating and learning to deal with being different from others. It’s an okay book. I enjoyed reading it; I just wasn’t super-thrilled excited about it.
