"Set in the Blue Ridge Mountains during the summer of 1969, Moon Water follows Nettie, a gritty sixteen-year-old who is reeling from sucker punches coming from all directions. Her boyfriend since grade school wants to break up just as they were beginning to figure out the sex thing, her life-long nemesis is jabbing her with perfectly polished nails, and her hell's fire and brimstone preacher refuses to baptize her. In the middle of this turmoil, an old medicine woman for the Monacan Indians gives her a cryptic message about a coming darkness: a blood moon whose veiled danger threatens Nettie and those she loves. To survive, Nettie and her best friend, Win, have to build a mysterious dreamcatcher-- one that requires them to scour the perilous mountains for Nature's ancient but perfect elements." --Back cover.… (more)

I really liked following Nettie's adventures with her friend Win. Building a dreamcatcher is no easy task and the skills required made the two girls stronger and wiser for the difficult challenge ahead.
This story starts off being fun and light hearted but by the end becomes a page turner. Reccomend it! ( )

I wasn't at all sure I would like this book when I started it. So glad I did.

It takes place in 1969, involves a coming of age story with relatable teen characters, a mystical theme, family, devotion, danger, love, misunderstanding, a driven purpose, and a history and explanation of a people.

In any book, is there more? Why yes, there is: wonderful writing.

This book made me sad and happy by turns, left me wanting more every time I had to sit it down, and that's what I ask of a book. New author added to my favorites list!

Thank you to NetGalley.com and the publisher for my copy. ( )
