Witches, Swamp Monsters, and Dragons! Oh My! Caledonia Skytower continues Kelly Barnhill’s
2017 Newbery Medal
winner.
Every year, the people of the Protectorate leave a baby as
an offering to the witch who lives in the forest. They hope this sacrifice will
keep her from terrorizing their town. But the witch in the forest, Xan, is kind
and gentle. She shares her home with a wise Swamp Monster named Glerk and a
Perfectly Tiny Dragon, Fyrian.
Xan rescues the abandoned children and deliver them to
welcoming families on the other side of the forest, nourishing the babies with
starlight on the journey.
One year, Xan accidentally feeds a baby moonlight instead of
starlight, filling the ordinary child with extraordinary magic. Xan decides she
must raise this enmagicked girl, whom she calls Luna, as her own.
To keep young Luna safe from her own unwieldy power, Xan
locks her magic deep inside her. When Luna approaches her thirteenth birthday,
her magic begins to emerge on schedule–but Xan is far away. Meanwhile, a young
man from the Protectorate is determined to free his people by killing the
witch. Soon, it is up to Luna to protect those who have protected her–even if
it means the end of the loving, safe world she’s always known.

“And the more they asked, the more they wondered. And the more they wondered, the more they hoped. And the more they hoped, the more the clouds of sorrow lifted, drifted, and burned away in the heat of a brightening sky.”
