GINNY MOON

Narrator Em Eldridge's clear, sincere tones comfort listeners as this story rife with pain and hope unfolds. Ginny Moon has spent the last five years in the care of various "forever" families after being taken from her unstable mother at age 9. She's still willing to risk considerable odds to get back to her mother and take care of her little sister. Ludwig's bright and determined protagonist is navigating a world full of people who are fighting their own demons. Eldridge brings them to life with warmth and honesty that treat even the most difficult characters fairly. The complex and intense story is enhanced by Eldridge's measured pacing and buoyant tones.
