REVIEWED BY MILLA, 11, WA

Meet Me at the Moon Tree by Shivaun Plozza, UQP, ISBN 9780702266171

The publisher provided a review copy of this book.

Carina promised her Dad that they would find a Moon Tree together. Sadly Carina’s Dad passes away before they get to do so, so Carina is more determined than ever to find it herself.

After moving to the Otaway Ranges, Carina believes that there is a Moon Tree in a nearby forest. Carina has a strange and mystical encounter with a black cockatoo in the forest who she thinks may be magical. Will the magic lead Carina to find a Moon Tree?

I rate this book 7/10 because I really enjoy stories about nature, love and the power of family connection. It’s suitable for ages 9+.

Read our September 2023 interview with the author.
