A Creature of Moonlight

"Hahn writes with such beauty and persuasion that she could make me believe in anything. She writes the sort of prose you give yourself to willingly. This is a rare and special book, a magical book; I've been searching for it and didn't even know it."
--Kristin Cashore, New York Times best-selling author of Graceling and Bitterblue "Rebecca Hahn captures that elusive sense of an experience just out of reach--a memory, a dream, a voice in the woods, a road not taken. I love the book and hope she dreams up many more."
--Franny Billingsley, National Book Award finalist for Chime

* "In Hahn's polished, confident debut, the daughter of a runaway princess and a dragon comes of age...this profound and original story feels like a long-lost classic fairy tale."
--Publisher's Weekly, starred review

"This debut novel is abundant with both magical images and realistic family conflict, melding them into a compelling story."
--VOYA

"This book's greatest strength lies in the vivid woodland scenes and the rich detail that describes the mystical pieces of Marni's tale."
--School Library Journal

* "A dreamlike, poetic fantasy bildungroman explores the power of choice and the meaning of home...Hahn's debut is cumulatively stunning"
--Kirkus, starred review

"Told in a languorous, breathy first-person narrative, Hahn's debut novel follows tenacious Marni as she tries to find a home between to vastly different worlds."
--Booklist
