Quotes
Some people said Cottonwood Forest was haunted. Some said it was magical. And some said it was just a regular old forest.
Erica Richardson, Luna’s Rescue, The Cottonwood Chronicles Book 1
“Mr. Wizard, sir, I came to ask for your help,” she chattered urgently. “My family is missing! I’m afraid the picnic got them!”

My Thoughts about Luna’s Rescue
Erica does a great job describing what is going on. Due to the great descriptions, the readers really experience what Luna is going through. Luna’s rescue is a great fantasy book for young readers and perfect for any kind of reading aloud. One thing that makes it unique is the lack of a villain. Instead, it is Luna facing her own insecurities and the opinions of what others tell her. She discovers that even though she is small, she can help fix big problems. The lack of a villain makes Luna more relatable to young readers because most children don’t have an individual they can pin their problems on like a character in a book. Instead, the readers learn that no matter how small or insignificant they may feel they are important and can make a big difference.
