      They’d be in good company:

      The Girl Who Drank the Moon
      Moon Over Manifest
      Walk Two Moons

      Where the Mountain Meets the Moon
      Sing Down the Moon

    Not sure where else to ask this question so I’ll try here…

    Is THE STORM KEEPER’S ISLAND by Catherine Doyle eligible for the Newbery? Can’t seem to find whether Doyle is a resident of the US or Ireland… Jacket cover says she grew up in Ireland but spends time in both places now.

    I’m really enjoying the book, btw.
