Every year, residents of the Protectorate pay off the witch and leave a child in the forest. But the forest witch Xiang is kind. Every year in the same place she finds an abandoned baby and is horrified: why are people so heartless? Xiang feeds the baby with starlight and looks for a kind family for him in the cities that are on the other side of the forest. One day, Xiang accidentally fed the baby not starlight, but moonlight, and the little girl absorbed incredible magic. Xiang decided that she herself would raise this girl (whom she named Luna). The day of Luna’s thirteenth birthday was approaching, when her magic would have to manifest itself in full force - the consequences could be unpredictable. And besides, Antain goes into the forest to finish off the witch. And strange paper birds are circling around. And the volcano, which had been dormant for five centuries, woke up. May the woman with the heart of a tiger roam the world... “The Girl Who Drank the Moonlight” became a New York Times bestseller and received the Newbery Medal (2016). This is Kelly Barnhill’s fourth book, her previous books received the most lauded reviews and received honorary awards, recognized as modern classics.
