Format:Hardcover
This book, the moorchild is a wonderful book. It is about a young moorfolk child growing up with her fellow moorfolk, untill she and the prince find out about her not being able to blink-out (dissapere at will) Because of this, she is switched with a human baby. After the years that she spent as a human child, she forgets more and more about the moorfolk. Untill there is no rememberence at all. While growing up, in the human world she was known as being different, and had to live with taunts and teases from all the others. McGraw makes this story of Moql the changeling sound so real. If you were ever marked as "being different" or even if you weren't, this book I would defenintly recomened.

Format:Paperback
This book is the wonderful tale of a little child name Moqul. She is Folk, or so it seems. She finds herself, banished from the Folk, being half human and half folk. For 12 years she lives amoung humans, reminded every day of how truly differnt she is. Then she discovers she is Folk, and sets out to find the Human she was switched for. This book has a deeper message. It reminds me of the racist times in America, and shows the "bad guy's" side of the story. I found myself feeling hurt and abondoened right beside Moqul. This book grabs the attention of the reader from the dedication "To any child who ever felt different."

Faeries from a different point of view
Moql is swapped for a human child because she is half-human herself. Life as a human is hard: the children make fun, adults don't understand. She is neither one nor the other. Read more
