THE NO 1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND NEWBERY MEDAL WINNER
Every year, the people of the Protectorate leave a baby as an offering to the witch who lives in the forest. They hope this sacrifice will keep her from terrorizing their town. But the witch in the Forest, Xan, is in fact a good witch who shares her home with a wise Swamp Monster and a Perfectly Tiny Dragon. Xan rescues the children and delivers them to welcoming families on the other side of the forest, nourishing the babies with starlight on the journey.
One year, Xan accidentally feeds a baby moonlight instead of starlight, filling the ordinary child with extraordinary magic. Xan decides she must raise this girl, whom she calls Luna, as her own. As Luna's thirteenth birthday approaches, her magic begins to emerge - with dangerous consequences. Meanwhile, a young man from the Protectorate is determined to free his people by killing the witch. Deadly birds with uncertain intentions flock nearby. A volcano, quiet for centuries, rumbles just beneath the earth's surface. And the woman with the Tiger's heart is on the prowl . . .
The Newbery Medal winner from the author of the highly acclaimed novel The Witch's Boy.

When I first saw the cover and read the title, I assumed it to be a children's book. But I couldn't be further from this supposition. The writing style makes you crave for universal truths, the magic that floats through the pages won't let you get away from its grip. It's the story of understanding what love and goodness are, what would save us from drowning in sorrow, what would make us create a better life.
