The Moth Keeper by K. O'Neill
4.5
emotional hopeful reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

The Moth Keeper is a story about community, curiosity, responsibility, and loneliness. The parallels between the ghost of legend, losing her ability to enjoy life to her obsession with the moon and Anya's daydreaming about living under the sun are such poignant parallels, especially after Anya's daydreaming about life under the sun while spending her nights alone. The illustrations are gorgeous, and the characters are easy to love!
