Description:
Sixteen-year-old Gwen Woods arrives in Ireland from America to spend time with her Irish cousin, Findabhair. Gwen and Findabhair have always been best friends, in spite of living on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Gwen hasn't seen Findabhair for three years, and she is nervous about the reunion. But the two quickly reconnect through their shared love of fantasy, and eagerly begin their long-planned trip around Ireland to visit the faerie sites.
But almost immediately strange things start happening, and their trip takes an unexpected turn when Findabhair is abducted by the Faerie King. Gwen sets off on a quest through Ireland to rescue Findabhair, yet although she is alone, she receives help in unexpected places from unexpected strangers. But time is running out, for it's the time of the Hunter's Moon, and Findabhair and Gwen may be in mortal danger.

Mom's Review:
The Hunter's Moon is a beautiful, lyrical tale of friendship, love, and sacrifice that's sure to please any fantasy fan. The melding of ancient and modern Ireland sets a poignant backdrop for an exciting story that builds to a startling conclusion. Melling's love of Ireland and her knowledge of folklore are skillfully woven into a story that brings the land of Ireland and its people to life. It made me long to visit Ireland, both the modern and the old, and to dance with the fairies whatever the risk.
