Summary: Nancy Garden's finest...
Comment: Having heard so much about Nancy Garden, I ran right to the library and got Annie On My Mind. The book was wonderful and very educational about the emotional aspects of a young lesbian partnership. So naturally, when I heard about Good Moon Rising, I went to the library to get that as well. I finished it in a period of three hours, never putting it down once. This has to be one of the most well-written, true-to-life, amazing books I have ever read. It comes straight from the heart and, at some points, made me cry. As a fifteen-year-old lesbian, I can't even begin to say how much I relate to this story. Many thank-yous to Nancy Garden for her fine writing. I would recommend this book to anyone, gay or straight, to remind them of the powers of homophobia and how it affects the people on the receiving end of it.
Rating: 4
Summary: Not as good as "Annie"
Comment: But a worthwhile read. The harassment the girls experience because of their suspected relationship is realistic and heartbreaking. The bravery required to come out is heartening. This is a fine novel for both gay and straight teens to read to gain better understanding of the difficulties of being gay in America. We need more books like this!

Summary: Another great book from Nancy Garden
Comment: I shouldn't read other people's reviews. As soon as I read one that disagrees with my opinion of that product it makes me mad. I am strange like that. But here I am writing my own review so I can shout to the world what I think, as if you all want to hear in the first place.. Anyway getting onto the actual review part of this. 'Good Moon Rising' is an excellent book. I read it twice in a time period of maybe five days. I checked it out from my local library and the first time I read it, I was through it in less than 5 hours, which may or may not be impressive. But I'm saying it's an incredibly wonderful book for anyone, even though I especially liked it since it was for the 'lesbian youth' crowd, which I'm in. Nancy Garden is such a great author, her style of fiction writing is perfect. Easily read, easily enjoyed. I know I should probably give some insight into the story line of the book in general but I think you should read it for yourself. Of course right after you read 'Good Moon Rising' you MUST go and read 'Annie On My Mind' another Garden classic, and one of the greatest books of all time (in my humble opinion). This is literature how it should be, and Garden at her finest (though she always is). Pick up this book and read! Oh and this book gets 12 out of 5 stars.
