Literary Child September Book Selection: The Moorchild

The Moorchild by Eloise McGraw

Join us as we begin our September reading selection! And don't miss the accompanying issue of Literary Child, filled with original word puzzles, family activities, games, crafts, recipes and more...all inspired by the book The Moorchild!

Summary of the book:
The Moorchild is the story of a young girl named Saaski, half-folk and half-human. When Saaski doesn't meet up to the standards of the Moorfolk, they must get rid of her. The Folk steal a human baby from its home and put Saaski in her place. Unfortunately, Saaski doesn't quite fit in with her new human community either. She is loved by her parents but ostracized by the villagers for being different, and eventually finds out who she really is. She then goes on a quest to find and return her parents' original (human) baby...and then to finally find a place that feels like home.
