Want to follow the thread of 'Woven in Moonlight'
What I love so much about this first impression of Isabel Ibanez's 'Woven in Moonlight' is how the book seems both to celebrate and to subvert the storytelling tradition - "spinning a yarn". The element of magic, for instance, places 'Woven in Moonlight' in the folk tale or fairy tale tradition. Meanwhile, messages about power (power structure; class) and identity politics read as immediate, relevant in the here-and-now.
I'd argue that the beautiful, stylized cover draws readers into the story's magic as well.
'Woven in Moonlight' is another highly anticipated YA read, for me. I have a feeling 2020 is going to be an awesome year to be a reader - and I can't wait to share with my students.
