Alabama Moon
Alabama Moon | Watt Key
5 posts | 4 read | 6 to read
For as long as ten-year-old Moon can remember, he has lived out in the forest in a shelter with his father. They keep to themselves, their only contact with other human beings an occasional trip to the nearest general store. When Moon's father dies, Moon follows his father's last instructions: to travel to Alaska to find others like themselves. But Moon is soon caught and entangled in a world he doesn't know or understand; he's become property of the government he has been avoiding all his life. As the spirited and resourceful Moon encounters constables, jails, institutions, lawyers, true friends, and true enemies, he adapts his wilderness survival skills and learns to survive in the outside world, and even, perhaps, make his home there. Alabama Moon is a 2007 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

Today I immediately thought to share Alabama Moon as a book with moon in the title, but of course it‘s currently checked out from my class library. Watt Key‘s books are favorites with several of my rural JH students. I gathered a few other titles to share as well.

This book was really good, it‘s a action mystery about a kid who lives in the forest with his dad when his dad dies he is sent to a boys home where he meets some friends then go back to the forest as he is constantly running from the law. It‘s a really good book!

This was an amazing book! I‘m not finished yet but when I am I will most likely read it again. This book is about a kid who lives in the forest with his dad and there hiding from the government but sadly his dad dies. So moon goes to a boys home which he doesn‘t like so he escapes with his two new friends Kit and Hal the run to the forest and hide from the police and they get into all kinds of trouble. Good book totally recommend!
