Summary: A Very Intruiging Novel
Review: This book is amazing. I haven't read many books that are like it. But once you start it is amazing. Intruiging and phenominal. You are swept into it's characters and plot. The story is amazing. Haunting and totally unpredictable. The story weaves a tale that explores true love, true hate, somethings you never see in children's books!

Summary: wow!
Review: This book is great. I can't list all the things I love about it. What impresses me most is how faithful the author is to her own story and setting--while this is a story about being different, it doesn't have some manufactured cutie-pie ending (as I had feared it would) in which the plucky little outsider convinces everyone to love her. Instead, McGraw allows the tale to be realistically bittersweet. I know this may not endear it to some kids (or even adults), but it's fantastic if you're in the mood for something with an ending that is believably--in this case, *relatively*--happy. The author's attention to detail and ability to create the medieval moorland setting is astonishing.

Summary: A Great Fantasy
Review: This book is the wonderful tale of a little child name Moqul. She is Folk, or so it seems. She finds herself, banished from the Folk, being half human and half folk. For 12 years she lives amoung humans, reminded every day of how truly differnt she is. Then she discovers she is Folk, and sets out to find the Human she was switched for. This book has a deeper message. It reminds me of the racist times in America, and shows the "bad guy's" side of the story. I found myself feeling hurt and abondoened right beside Moqul. This book grabs the attention of the reader from the dedication "To any child who ever felt different."

Summary: The cast-out child must find her own friends.
Review: This book is tricky; in the beginning it is slow, but has just enough excitement to keep you interested until later on Moql-Saaski meets one of her own kind. Then the book starts getting good.

Summary: This book, The Moorchild, is a great and entriging book.
Review: This book, the moorchild is a wonderful book. It is about a young moorfolk child growing up with her fellow moorfolk, untill she and the prince find out about her not being able to blink-out (dissapere at will) Because of this, she is switched with a human baby. After the years that she spent as a human child, she forgets more and more about the moorfolk. Untill there is no rememberence at all. While growing up, in the human world she was known as being different, and had to live with taunts and teases from all the others. McGraw makes this story of Moql the changeling sound so real. If you were ever marked as "being different" or even if you weren't, this book I would defenintly recomened.

Summary: Wonderful Story
Review: This is a beautifully written book that I read several years ago, and have recently re-read. My one complaint is that, while I enjoyed reading the book both times, a younger audience might miss a few things in the story, and an older audience won't be as affected by it as a younger one. I think that this story's projected audience was written for older children or preteen females, though an older audience would enjoy it as well. Beware, though: some of the scenes where the villagers are after Saaski are pretty disturbing and heart-wrenching. This book, while simple, isn't just a flaky fairy tale- it's an intense and often sweet fantasy that combines olden lore with the emotional traumas that all of us must face at some time in our lives. A very enjoyable read- I recommend it enthusiastically.

Summary: An excellent book in a genre that may not be read by kids.
Review: This is a haunting book with an underlying hidden meaning that would be great to discuss in class, or in a literary club. I was captivated right from the start. It is great for all kids who have been bullied, or were bullies! I like the point of view and the voice this is written in.

Summary: I've just finished reading....
Review: This is a wonderful discovery. As someone who reads hundreds of children's books each year, The Moorchild is unique, moving and powerful. The author has managed to create a thought provoking story on a fantasy level that constantly had me making connections with the real life cruelty that comes when one is "different". Her language is rich and challenging. The last 40 pages had me on the edge of my seat. For ages 9-14
