Summary: sweety,El Cajon
Comment: The Moorchild is a great book for young people who have been teased or have teased someone, but only if you have a little amagination.This book is about A girl named Moql'nkkn who is a little cangeling girl who one day discover she doesnt have the ability to disappear when humans are .looking for the moorfolk. she never seems to fit even as a baby this poor young child was to differant for any one to understand and as a consiquicne She is traded to the humans in exchange for a human baby but still deos'nt quiet fit in with the rest of the world .But the author does a great job of making you think this fasinating fairytail is real the begining of the the story is a little slow but after you get to the plot the story never stops to amaze you. This fantastic story of a young changeling girl I'm sure is a one of a kind and is worth reading. but don't take my word for it read it yourself.

Summary: A great fairy-tale fantasy...
Comment: The story starts with a young girl named Moql'nkkn, who lives among the "Folk", a fairy like people. What Moql doesn't know is that she's only half-Folk. She finds it this out at the worse possible time- when she is supposed to disappear in front of a human. When she can't, she is brought to the "Prince" of the Folk, who decides she is to be exchanged for a human baby, which the Folk will use as a slave. Moql wakes up in a nearby village, and is called Saaski, her parents believing she is their human child, and the new little Saaski forgetting almost all of her old life. Saaski is hated by the villagers, who things she is a evil being. Her only true friend is Tam, a young boy who watches goats. The writing makes this book seem to come alive. The storyline will grip you and make you wonder what will happen next. Why Saaski find out who she truly is? Will the villagers harm her? And who are the small people she sometimes sees on her beloved moor?

Summary: Wonderful Story
Comment: This is a beautifully written book that I read several years ago, and have recently re-read. My one complaint is that, while I enjoyed reading the book both times, a younger audience might miss a few things in the story, and an older audience won't be as affected by it as a younger one. I think that this story's projected audience was written for older children or preteen females, though an older audience would enjoy it as well. Beware, though: some of the scenes where the villagers are after Saaski are pretty disturbing and heart-wrenching. This book, while simple, isn't just a flaky fairy tale- it's an intense and often sweet fantasy that combines olden lore with the emotional traumas that all of us must face at some time in our lives. A very enjoyable read- I recommend it enthusiastically.
