Chandra Kane is a teenager who has a parrot that quotes Shakespeare, a living corpse that hides under her bed, and a pair of magical bracelets that belonged to her dead mother. Her evil clone is seducing her boyfriend and a murderous midget is stalking her girlfriends. Could life be any weirder for a fifteen year-old girl? Absolutely, because Chandra Kane is about to celebrate her one-hundredth birthday!

A fantasy adventure novel set in the present world, "Undying Moon" features an Indian-Asian girl as its heroine who must solve the mystery of her missing life in order to save the world. Her best friends are Di Valentine, a pageant queen and a superb martial artist, and Nastia Hicks, an African-American girl and Junior Olympic gymnast. The underlying themes of friendships, death, self-belief, and emerging sexuality take this debut novel by Raveyn Knight beyond an ordinary teen reading experience as it wrestles with the question what it means to be yourself, regardless of your age.

My daughter, age 9, and I both read this book and enjoyed it. Even though this book is aimed to girls older than 9, she thought it was the best book she's read (and she's quite the reader.)I was so glad to be able to share with her a book that shows girls as strong and capable and willing to face their challenges head on.
Good Points
*Female heroines - girls who are smart and strong and can hold their own
*Includes mystery, friendship, and inspiration about embracing one's full potential
*Fast paced and full of twists and turns - action all the way from start to finish
*Quirky characters
*It's funny
*Yoga - I love that yoga is part of the story and a big influence on the main character

This book moves fast and kept me guessing until the end. I read it in one weekend. This really was unlike any book I've ever read. I can't describe it.
Good Points
Funny, scary, amazing characters.
Good mystery fantasy!
Completely out of the ordinary hero.
