Moon Runner

School librarian Connie Burns of South Portland is a steadfast supporter of the Maine Student Book Award. Here, she presents one of the books on the list of contenders from the 2006-07 school year: Moon Runner by Carolyn Marsden (Candlewick, 2005). After Connie introduces the main character, Mina, then reads the first chapter and previews the rest of the story, it’ll be hard to resist finding a copy of the book at your library and finishing it.
