Description

Thirteen-year-old Lucia Frank discovers that she can become the girl shes always wanted to be with the help of a little moon magic in this charming novel about the value of friendship, family, and finding yourself.

Lucia Frank has never had time for her moms new age nonsense. She doesnt believe in any of that stuff. All she wants is to figure out how to get her best friend, Will, back and cope with her parents looming divorce. But then something strange happens on the night of her thirteenth birthday.

When the eclipsed moon slips into the shadow of the earth, Lucias Shadow slips out. Now hidden in a moonstone, the Shadow waits for Lucia to sleep so it can come out to play.

Lucias Shadow seems unlike her in almost every way: daring, outspoken, and unwilling to let anyone push her around. But it actually isnt the anti-Luciain fact, her Shadow is very much like the person Lucia wishes she could be. At first, Lucia is eager to undo whatever magic happened on her birthday so life can get back to normal. But when she realizes her Shadow is doing and saying things she has only dreamed about, she wonders if maybe things arent all bad.

With a little help from her Shadow, shes turning into the kind of girl shes always wanted to be.
