Blue Moon
Julia Green
- Reading
- Consider checking in before and after reading the passages about pregnancy and abortion pressure, and let the reader choose whether to pause or talk them through.
- Themes
- Finding support within family: Mia leaves home after feeling cornered; later, her mother and Will’s mother become involved, and Mia comes to see how much her father has done for her. The book presents this favourably.
- Worth knowing
- Pregnancy and abortion pressure are central to Mia’s situation; a fire occurs aboard the canal boat. These events may merit attention in light of a reader’s circumstances.
