| 1 | Shooting the Moon | Frances O'Roark Dowell |
| Edgar Award-winning author Frances O'Roark Dowell is acclaimed for the rich characterizations in her poignant coming-of-age novels. Drawing on her experience as a colonel's daughter, Dowell delivers an evocative portrait of a 12-year-old girl whose view of life, war, and her dad- Fort Hood's base commander-changes as her corpsman brother sends home haunting images from Vietnam. An eloquent narration captures the emotional intensity of the novel's gripping prose. "This book is amazing . [Shooting the Moon] has an excellent chance of engaging every reader that comes across it."-School Library Journal |
