Thirteen-year-old Lucia Frank discovers that she can become the girl she’s always wanted to be with the help of a little “moon magic” in this charming novel about the value of friendship, family, and finding yourself.

Lucia Frank has never had time for her mom’s “new age” nonsense. She doesn’t believe in any of that stuff. All she wants is to figure out how to get her best friend, Will, back and cope with her parents looming divorce. But then something strange happens on the night of her thirteenth birthday.

When the eclipsed moon slips into the shadow of the earth, Lucia’s Shadow slips out. Now hidden in a moonstone, the Shadow waits for Lucia to sleep so it can come out to play.

Lucia’s Shadow seems unlike her in almost every way: daring, outspoken, and unwilling to let anyone push her around. But it actually isn’t the anti-Lucia…in fact, her Shadow is very much like the person Lucia wishes she could be. At first, Lucia is eager to undo whatever magic happened on her birthday so life can get back to normal. But when she realizes her Shadow is doing and saying things she has only dreamed about, she wonders if maybe things aren’t all bad.

With a little help from her Shadow, she’s turning into the kind of girl she’s always wanted to be.

What if you were born on the lunar eclipse? My book is called Moon Shadow and it’s about a girl named lucia and she was born during a lunar eclipse. And when she turned 13 her whole world went upside down. Her mom tells her that lunar eclipses are magical but she doesn't. Believe that all she wants to do is get her best friend back. So she goes on a journey to find her best friend and find herself. Velvet was one of lucia's friends and then lucia noticed how mean and selfish velvet was. And she found a new group of friends that treated her right. And that cared about her and not just herself. Lucia also has to go through a phase with her moonstone. And she loses a really good friend. I recommend this book to people who like mystery and people with courage and people who stand up for what's right.I hope you enjoy the book.
