The Girl Who Chased the Moon (Paperback)
Sarah Addison Allen (author)Published: 17/02/2011
Emily Benedict came to Mullaby, North Carolina, hoping to solve at least some of the riddles surrounding her mother's life. But the moment Emily enters the house where her mother grew up and meets the grandfather she never knew, she realises that mysteries aren't solved in Mullaby, they're a way of life. Here are rooms where the wallpaper changes to suit your mood. Unexplained lights skip across the yard at midnight. And a neighbour, Julia Winterson, bakes hope in the form of cakes, offering them to satisfy the town's sweet tooth - but also in the hope of rekindling a love she fears might be lost forever. Can a hummingbird cake really bring back a lost love? Is there really a ghost dancing in Emily's backyard? The answers are never what you expect. But in this town of lovable misfits, the unexpected fits right in.

The dialogue is a little forced, some characters are far too easy to second guess and some...

“Whimsical and fun”
Another lovely book by Sarah Addison Allen - full of the lovely magical elements which fill this author's work. Okay so the mysteries were perhaps fairly easy for the reader to untangle but lovely all the same.... More

Have you ever seen the film Big Fish? Well, this book reminds me of that film a lot, what with its eight foot tall grandpa and other magical impossibilities. Allen’s books have a wonderful dreamy feel to them when you... More
