Holly feels rejected Her cool, remote mother has dumped the thirteen-year-old on an aunt and uncle she barely knows, at a farm in southern England Holly takes her flute to her aunt and uncle's old barn, and the notes of her instrument set off a mysterious hum from the back of the building Perhaps she shouldn't have gone to investigate the sounds Maybe she shouldn't have moved the pile of broken-down farm implements that blocked her path But how else was she going to get that ancient-looking door open? Besides, somehow Holly can't help herself

The author of the powerful young adult fantasy novel, When Night Eats the Moon, is Joanne Findon, Celtic scholar and university lecturer. She has had a fascination for Stonehenge since she first saw photographs of it as a child. "I have returned [to Stonehenge] a number of times, but my last trip was the most powerful because I walked there from the town of Amesbury. . . . Even with the fence around it, this monument is still a powerful sight."
