Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Amanda

Well, that’s an interesting book. It is full of happiness, sadness, anger, and fun. That’s what I love about it.


Colie is a teenage girl. She adores her mom and it seems she always has. Her mom is the fitness guru, Kiki Sparks. While on her European tour, Colie lives with her aunt, Mira. Mira is quite strange, but a kind person, very hungry too. She’s overweight just as Kiki and Colie were once. So, she sends Colie to the local Last Chance Bar and Grill for food. She meets two funny waitresses who turn her summer upside down.


This book is amazing. You feel for Colie in the “Fat Years,” laugh at Mira’s antics, and just plain wonder about Norman. Girls will love the book for this. So, why is it called Keeping the Moon? I think you will have to read the book to find out! Happy reading!
