“Like many childhoods, Jennie Reeves' was full of both beauty and terror. Her heart-grabbing book, "Once in the Blue Moon, "evokes these extremes by recreating in sensual and startling vivid language the long ago and faraway. Yet we seem not to be reading about the past, but about a present that is wonderfully alive and teeming with danger and adventure and love.”
