Famously scarce in first edition, The Girl Who Drank the Moon is an example of a celebrated modern first that has only become more difficult to find since its publication. In a land in which the townspeople offer a baby to a witch each year for protection, a kind witch mistakenly feeds the child on moonlight rather than starlight, releasing formidable magical powers in the youngster. Filled with witches, dragons, swamp monsters, and deadly birds (not to mention a handsome prince) this coming-of-age fantasy is a sought-after 2017 Newbery Medal-winner. In Fine condition in a Fine dust jacket.
