Bandit's Moon

If this isn't a classic already, then it definitely should be. Bandit's Moon is by far my favorite childhood book, and still remains one of my favorites even today. Although aimed at middle school aged children, it is a fantastic tale of a young girl who ends up on a crazy adventure with Mexican bandits. Though less detailed than a novel aimed at an older audience would be, I still feel like Bandit's Moon captures the culture of the time period.Based off a true--though little known--person, there is plenty of leeway for wild adventures without going far from what truly happened to the real Joaquin. The dialogue between characters is written to show the accents of the Mexican bandits, as well as the many other characters. Each character has his own story to tell, with each melding together to push the plot along.Bandit's Moon is a fantastic tale of adventure that will take young readers right along with the Mexican Bandits and their young tag-along. Full of action, fun dialogue, and colorful characters, it's a book worth reading by any age group.I bought this book, and therefore was not required nor asked to write a review, nor a positive one at that. I was not compensated for this review.

Good product

It was a great switch for my 4th grader who did NOT want to read Patty Reed's doll after overhearing it read aloud when her sister was in 4th grade (CA history). I picked it, because my older daughter loved By the Great Horned Spoon, by the same author, and it is still in the same vein of CA history. Also if you need lesson plans for it there is a great one for this book on teachers pay teachers and scholastic has a a free one for writing in response to literature about themes.

My 9 year old loved this book!

I remembered this book from school and I had to buy it again. It was like reading it again for the first time and I loved this little story just the same. Fast read but has good character development. You will fall in love with all the bandits.

As stated. Excellent service.

Very good book!

Love the book.
