A new fantasy classic from the Newbery Medal winning and New York Times bestselling author of THE GIRL WHO DRANK THE MOON.

From the author of the National Book Award-winning The Good Lord Bird comes a wise and witty novel exploring the aftermath of a shooting. In September 1969, Sportcoat, a cranky old church deacon, enters the courtyard of the Cause Houses housing project in Brooklyn and shoots the local drug dealer at point-blank range. The reasons behind this act of violence and its consequences form the core of the narrative. McBride vividly portrays the lives of those impacted by the shooting: the victim, the African-American and Latinx witnesses, white neighbors, local cops, members of the Five Ends Baptist Church, Italian mobsters, and Sportcoat himself. As the story unfolds, the interconnectedness of the characters’ lives amidst the tumult of 1960s New York becomes apparent. When the truth finally surfaces, McBride reveals that not all secrets should remain hidden, emphasizing the importance of facing change without fear and highlighting that love can flourish through hope and compassion. With masterful storytelling and a deep faith in humanity, McBride delivers a novel that is as engaging as his previous works, showcasing that love and faith reside within us all.

Ogni anno, all'alba del Giorno del Sacrificio, gli Anziani del Protettorato abbandonano un neonato ai margini della città. È un'offerta di pace per la strega che si nasconde nella foresta. Quello che gli Anziani non sanno, però, è che Xan, la strega, è buona. Così buona da dividere la sua casa con il vecchio Mostro dello Stagno e un dispettoso Drago Perfettamente Piccolo. Così buona da prendersi cura, anno dopo anno, dei piccoli abbandonati. Li raccoglie, li protegge, li nutre con la luce delle stelle e li accompagna dall'altra parte della foresta per affidarli a genitori amorevoli. Ma tutto cambia la notte in cui Xan commette un terribile errore: invece della luce delle stelle, fa bere alla bambina che ha appena salvato la luce della luna, regalandole così meravigliosi poteri magici. Incapace di separarsi da quella piccina con gli occhi neri come lo spazio infinito e la pelle luminosa come ambra, la strega decide di allevarla come una figlia e la chiama Luna. Luna cresce felice in riva allo Stagno, circondata dall'amore di Xan, dall'amicizia del Drago e dalle poesie del saggio Mostro, ma ignara degli straordinari poteri ricevuti in dono. Fino al giorno del suo tredicesimo compleanno, quando la magia si sprigiona in tutta la sua forza... Luna sarà in grado di gestirla? E riuscirà a smascherare la vera strega cattiva, decisa a prosciugare il mondo di ogni felicità? Età di lettura: da 10 anni
