Although the majority of characters featured aren’t much older than thirteen, I would say that Night of the Purple Moon is written with an older audience in mind and contains some scenes that would perhaps be unsettling for younger readers; 13-15 year olds will keenly remember or be experiencing the turmoil of puberty and Scott Cramer’s book will resonate strongly for them.
Well paced and gripping, I enjoyed reading and think that Night of the Purple Moon would be a good choice for fans of Michael Grant’s Gone series or anyone looking for another dystopic fix after The Hunger Games.
