More About This Book

Overview

The witch who made the patchwork girl died before she could give her creation a name. Stitched together from the remains of the villagers’ dead children—whose memories still live in her flesh—and held together by a ring made of moonbeams, the patchwork girl is a spell as yet unfinished. She can never be what her parents wanted her to be: a replacement for the children they’ve lost. Tired of being a disappointment, the poppet decides to embark upon a journey through the Everwood Forest in search of her true name.

In the forest she meets Faolin, a newly made wereman: a man trapped as a wolf except during the full moon. Faoling is running from the beasts who killed his father, and stole his throne as Wolf King. He joins the patchwork girl on her journey, and she promises to help him become human again and return to his fiancée. Together, they face the dangers of the Everwood Forest as their paths wind together: Faolin running from his destiny, the patchwork girl in search of her own, and both of them bound by moonlight.

But Faolin, afraid of the beast he has become, has known all along what he must do in order to lift the curse and return to his fiancée. In fact, it is the very reason he sought out the patchwork girl to begin with—and now the only reason he is willing to leave her side: to save her from himself.

Editorial Reviews

Miss Merle
The Poppet and the Lune is going to be one of the novels I set time aside for every year to reread, or one that I’ll simply pull out every now and then just to reread my favorite passages. I actually tried to read it as slowly as I could allow, simply because I never wanted it to end. [...] It’s going to be a book that I treasure deeply.

Meet the Author

Madeline Claire Franklin has been writing since she was in the womb (that’s probably why she was born 2 weeks late: she was finishing a manuscript and missed her deadline). She holds a BA in Media Studies/Production with a minor in Anthropology from the University at Buffalo, which has further expanded her storytelling capacity.

Currently she lives near the zoo in Buffalo, New York with her three cats, (Luke, Leto, and Lando) and her husband. They can hear the sea lions barking all year round.
