I finished the Moorchild yesterday too (in case you're wondering, the other book I'm referring to, I posted about today, the one about My Sister's a Pop Star). It's very interesting, and I think it needs a sequel. So the Moorchild is about Folk that live on the moor. The Folk are sort of like elves, or pixies. They trick the villagers that live below the moor; the village called Torskaal. One of the Folk (Moql'nkkn), can't do the tricks right, though. Moql's parents (the Folk have parents, but they never see them) aren't both Folk; one is Folk, but the other is human. Since Moql has some human in her, she's dangerous to the Folk. The Folk have to exchange her. The Moql grows up with humans, not knowing that she's a changeling from the Folk (she knew about the Folk, but just forgot over time). She grows up to be eleven, thinking that her name is Saaski, being teased by the other village children for looking different (and sometimes acting different). Poor Saaski (or Moql'nkkn) has to have an adventure, the villagers stealing glances and talking behind Saaski's back. It really is quite an adventure, both for the reader and the character. The author, Eloise McGraw, really made this book interesting. While reading, I bet that you'll feel sorry for Saaski (again, you could call her Moql), and all her troubles. This book will (could) delight anyone of any age. So happy reading for now! I will post again soon, I promise soon! :)
