I am a big Kevin Henkes fan. He's the author and illustrator of great picture books, like Lily's Purple Plastic Purse, Sheila Rae, the Brave, Owen, and Wemberly Worried, just to name a few. But, he has also penned some well received novels for intermediate readers, 4th to 6th grade reading level. Bird Lake Moon is the first of these novels that I've read. I picked it up at the library since Olive's Ocean, his most highly acclaimed novel, wasn't in.
