What the Moon Saw
LAURA RESAU
CLARA LUNA’S NAME means “clear moon” in Spanish. But lately, her head
has felt anything but clear. Then a letter comes from Mexico, written in
Spanish: We would like you to come visit us. We will pick you up in Oaxaca
on the day of the full moon in June. Love, your grandparents.
Clara has never met her father’s parents. When she agrees to go, she’s
stunned by her grandparents’ simple life. Hearing her grandmother’s
stories growing up as a healer changes Clara’s perspective, and alerts her to
secrets in her soul.

★ “Readers . . . will find themselves swept up in this powerful, magical
story, and they’ll feel, along with Clara, ‘the spiderweb’s threads, connecting
me to people miles and years away’.”—Booklist, Starred
