Told from an American girl’s perspective, this story about how death teaches us to live and how love endures through our memories will capture the hearts of readers everywhere. Only an orphan named Memory, who knows about love and loss, can teach Clare how to laugh with the moon. When Clare’s new friends take her on an outing to see the country, the trip goes horribly wrong, and Clare must face another heartbreak head-on. Soon, though, she becomes immersed in her new surroundings and impressed with her fellow students, who are crowded into a tiny space, working on the floor among roosters and centipedes. Stuck with her father, a doctor who seems able to heal everyone but Clare.Ĭlare feels like a fish out of water at Mzanga Full Primary School, where she must learn a new language. Stuck in the African jungle for sixty-four days without phone reception. Stuck in denial about her mother’s recent death. Laugh with the Moon is on the Texas Bluebonnet Award Master List.
