The Moorchild (Aladdin Fantasy) The Moorchild by Eloise Jarvis McGraw


My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
I’m a sucker for new stories that incorporate old myths! This is an extememly enjoyable read. Saaski is a changling. Half-human and half-fairy folk, she is swapped at birth for a human baby.

The other children are repulsed by her oddness and Saaski doesn’t much care for them either. When she befrieds a goathearder, Tam, she finds an ally. The adventure gets rolling as Saaski slowly remembers her origins and goes back to Folk. I enjoyed the role music has in Saaski discovering her ‘real self.’

A must-read Newberry Honor book
