Written by: Eloise McGraw
First line: It was Old Bess, the Wise Woman of the village,
who first suspected that the bay at her daughter’s house was a changeling.
Why you should read this book: Switched into the cradle of a
human child, half-Moorfolk child Moql becomes Saaski, the daughter of the
blacksmith and his wife, when her inability to hide from humans becomes
apparent. Saaski is different from anyone else, with a strange face, an inhuman
quickness, and a talent for playing wild fairy music on the bagpipes, and she
is desperate to remember where she came from and who she really is. The story
of an outsider who doesn’t belong in any world, this Newbery-winning book has
the power to warm the heart of anyone who has ever wondered if there is a place
for them.
Why you shouldn’t read this book: You burn outsiders.
