Magic Moon: A Young Boy's Journey (Vol. 1): Magic Moon Books, #1

By Shirley Moulton

"It was said in the village that Magic Moon would grant you two requests. One request must be to find a lost treasure. The other request must be for something good, which would not hurt anyone else. Magic Moon was very particular about requests."

Join a young boy on his remarkable journey as he climbs the mountain to make his request of Magic Moon and discovers true happiness through unselfishness.

"5/5 Stars in Children's Adventure, 5/5 Stars in Children's Fantasy & Sci Fi, 5/5 Stars in Children's Christian
…Magic Moon is a lovely children's story about courage and selflessness. Shirley Moulton wrote Magic Moon with flair. Her prose is simple yet beautiful. It was a pleasure to read this heartwarming tale…Magic Moon, who is initially intimidating, is shown to have a witty sense of humor. The young boy is also very sincere and endearing. His generosity and kindness are commendable traits that children may find inspiring. Marilyn Whitchurch's glossy full-page illustrations are also a welcome addition to the narrative. --Readers' Favorites (Aug & Sept 2023)
