Description
"A brilliantly faceted, life-affirming story about a girl and her family as they struggle to go on without Mom during a single year in the early seventies. Delightfully poignant and equally funny, this story reminiscent of Judy Blume will no doubt steal the heart of readers of all ages – just like it did mine." —Jennifer Richard Jacobson, author of Small as an Elephant
"Meet the Moon captures a fractured world spinning out of control after the sudden loss of a funny and beloved mother who wanted her children to see the stars and beyond. Told through the eyes of thirteen-year-old, Jody Moran, one of four siblings, we go on a journey of hope and healing in Kerry Malawista's tender, funny novel of a family finding their way home again." —Kerry Madden, author of Offsides
"In Meet the Moon Kerry Malawista‘s heroine, Jody Moran, brings us along as she stumbles from 13 to 14, finding her way forward while grieving the sudden death of a mother whose love never seemed quite enough. This beautifully written, sharply observed novel takes us on a journey that is scary, tumultuous, yet grounded always in the love of family. Recreating 1970's America and the torture and promise of adolescence, Meet the Moon gives us a plucky narrator we want to enfold and never let go." —Marita Golden, author of The Wide Circumference of Love
"Jody's just a regular teen, with regular teen things to worry about. But then in a blink, there's a wreck, a family in shock: Mom’s gone, baby brother is in the hospital. Boyfriends, best friends, teachers, siblings, the neighbor across the street, all have a part in helping Jody adjust–but can they deliver? Jody loves her big rowdy family, but soon sees that sometimes Dads can be dumb, big sisters too bossy, teachers too nosy, and even best friends don’t always get it. In the end, all the strength Jody needs is right inside her warm heart. Kerry Malawista knows that heart, and Meet the Moon rises full over the landscape of great reads for teens and grownups alike." —Bill Roorbach, author of Life Among Giants, The Remedy for Love, and Lucky Turtle "Kerry Malawista's novel Meet the Moon is beautiful and profoundly moving. She brings to vivid life a family dealing with the tragic and shocking loss of their mother and notably a father we’d all wish for. Young people and adults, alike, should find this book both engaging, humorous and reassuring." —Linda Pastan, author of Carnival Evening, former Poet Laureate of Maryland
