Summary:  Fae has been alone since her mother mysteriously disappeared, supported only by a bunny friend and a couple of mice.  She dreams about her mom every night and is sure she is still alive somewhere.  Her mother had a strong connection to the moon, and one night Fae decides to remove it to the sky, hoping her mom will notice and return home.  The disappearance of the moon triggers some pretty unsavory animal behavior, and in a series of adventures, Fae learns that not only are a swarm of rats trying to steal the moon from her, but the “bunny” is really a power-hungry monster.  Fae discovers that she has powers of her own and manages to bring about a happy ending for herself and her mother.  Includes four pages showing the creation of the story and illustrations.  144 pages; grades 3-5.

Pros:  Don’t be deceived by the short length of this graphic novel; it’s a pretty elaborate fantasy story that will appeal to a wide range of elementary students.  Readers will be happy with the pretty strong hint at the end that there will be a book 2.

Cons:  No page numbers.
