The Night of the Purple Moon was full of kindness and bravery, as the children fought to live life the best they could for as long as possible. Watching them relying on each other and finding there places in the new world was heart warming. It was a real eye opener in the things we take for granted in daily life. The characters where very relate-able in their emotions however one of my issues with the book was that all of the children where really intelligent and mature for there age and didn’t talk like any children I have ever met of their respective ages, one precocious child is believable a whole island of them isn’t. I was also a little confused with Abby’s age, at the beginning of the book she was thirteen and at the end of the book, over a year later, she was still thirteen. Despite my issues with the book it was a great read that i found hard to put down and i’m really looking forward to the sequel and seeing where the author takes it. I would recommend this book to YA and science fiction readers.
