Publisher's Summary:
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 childrenwhose memories still live in her fleshthe patchwork girl is a spell as yet unfinished, held together by nothing more than a ring made of moonbeams. She can never be what her parents want her to be: a replacement for the children theyve lost. So when the poppet grows up, and grows tired of being a disappointment, she decides to embark upon a journey through the Everwood Forest in search of her real name.
In the forest she meets Faolin, a newly made wereman (a man trapped as a wolf except during the full moon) running from the beasts who made him. Wanting nothing more than to become human again, and to return to his fiancée, the patchwork girl promises to help him in his quest is he will help in hers. Together they face the dangers of the forest, forming an unlikely bond 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. But now, his cure has become the very reason why he must leave her: to protect her from himself.

Cool Fairytale!
The Poppet and the Lune is a delightful modern fairytale that i think will appeal to children and adults alike. Madeline Claire Franklin is a fantastic fairytale maker, and i think we will hear a lot from her in the future! I cant praise this book high enough! It is just that cool. I would recommend the story of The Poppet and the Lune to anyone that want to read a fairytale, and this is a book i will hear again, and again! The Poppet and the Lune is going to be one of the novels i will set time aside for every year to "re-listen"! That is a high praise from a "Book nerd" like me!
Elizabeth Basalto did a wonderful job of bringing the story of The Poppet and the Lune to life. I thought her voice fit the fairytale very well. She was good at doing different voices, and that is needed in a fairytale. She makes this fantastic book even more alive! Elizabeth Basalto is just very talented, and i cant say something negative about her reading!

The Poppet and the Lune tells the story of Elizabeth, the patchwork girl who wishes to find her own place in the world.
The patchwork girl was not born, she was created by a witch on the demands of the grieving villagers who had just lost their own children.
