The Moon Over High Street by Natalie Babbitt
4.0
Joe visits his Aunt Myra in Midville during the summer. He finds friendship with Beatrice, a next door neighbor. A very rich manufacturer in the town meets Joe and decides to adopt him and groom him to run the factory. Joe must decide whether to pursue riches or pursue his dream of studying the moon.
The Moon Over High Street would be appropriate for readers between ten and twelve years old. It contains themes of friendship, family and the importance of personal ambitions over money. The conflict is not well developed and readers may feel a sense of let down. I expected the rich manufacturer to pursue nefarious means to adopt Joe or Joe to have a much harder time deciding which course to pursue.
