4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting discussions could ensue Aug 26 2011

I enjoyed Because of the Moon very much. The beginning drew me in and immediately made me feel that Jay was a believable character. The author has a real feel for the plight of the adolescent and the touches of humour and insightful descriptions were appealing. Jay's problems fitting in to his new community were handled sensitively and I enjoyed his interactions with Grampa and all the other characters. Grampa shared some wonderful First Nations stories with Jay and the projects they worked on together were educational for the reader as well as Jay. Jay's meeting with his city friend Anthony as well as facing his Grampa's hospitalization, and finding out the truth about Gordon helped Jay gain some perspective on what's important and true for him. I think this book could lead to some interesting discussions in highschool English or Social Studies classes. The potlatch at the end of the book and the community's inventive solution to their financial woes helped the book end on an upbeat, hopeful note. I look forward to reading more books by Colleen Cutayne.

4.0 out of 5 stars Any Young Adult Will Enjoy May 29 2012
By My Book Addiction and More - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
BECAUSE OF THE MOON is a story about Jay, a graffiti artist, that is in the wrong place at the wrong time. He is caught in a chop shop when he is hauled into the NYC police station. Jay's mother calls his grandfather that he has never met to help keep him out of legal trouble. Instead of going to a juvenile center, Jay is forced to live on his families Indian reservations, The First Nations. Jay has trouble adjusting to his new family and friends, but soon learns to love his grandfather, his stories and the land. This book is filled with tales of the First Nation and is a beautifully written book about the culture of the First Nations. It is a coming of age story and I feel any young adult or adult will enjoy it. This book was received for the purpose of an honest review.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Enlightening Read Mar 8 2012
By Rhodora M Fitzgerald - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I really enjoyed this book. The characters were loveable and believeable and the problems they encountered were very true to life. This book touched on so many aspects of everyday life... and it shed light on all sorts of subjects from the senseless bully at school to the wisdom of the elderly grandparent. The reader feels a sense of pride and belonging as they learn about the First Nations with Jay.
