Richard Due does it again with a great sequel to his book "The Moon Coin." This time Jasper and Lily share the burden of risky travel into the Moon Realm. The narrative flows enjoyably from the Moon Realm adventures to Jasper and Lily's real life. A great twist was that the Moon Realm elements are starting to invade their actual lives on Earth, and it is becoming a serious challenge for them to contain the secret of the Moon Realm much longer! I greatly anticipate the third installment.

One of the best Young Adult novels since "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe," this adventure takes the reader to a remarkably complicated yet consistently constructed world where only children can help save the realm. Lily is the first book's protagonist, with the promise of her older brother Jasper to follow in her stead in the second book. An adult reading this tale may feel frustrated by the lack of answers, but for a young adult reader the mysteries and urgency add to the magic. Welcome to worlds where help comes in the form of the little understood but greatly needed human child.… (mer)

Uncle Ebb always told bedtime tales to Jasper and Lily Winter. But now he's disappeared and Lily has picked up a necklace belonging to him. She opens it and spins the dial...... She finds herself on one of the Moons, Uncle Ebb has told them about. Lily didn't think they were real. Now she knows differently. But how is she to return home.

Richard Due's writing is beautiful and draws the reader into each of the Moons that Lily visits. All the characters seem so human and real, even though the Rinn are cats. Each place is described and you feel that you are riding along with Lily, and you see the moons rise, and the evil that creeps across the lands.

This is a story worth reading and also reading to young kids. I would recommend this book to all who like fantasy stories.

I received this book through LibraryThing Member Givewaway for an honest review and I'm glad I did because it was a wonderful magical adventure! Jasper and Lily didn't realize that their Uncle Ebb's bedtime stories were about a magical realm until years later when they find themselves transported to the Moon Realm, a fantastical place filled with strange and magical creatures. The author's world-building is rich and imaginative and I think most readers will be swept away into the adventure and the illustrations were lovely. Looking forward to reading the next book!… (mer)
