It isn't, but it is a beautiful book about a young girl named Lila who is allergic to the sun and becomes a moon girl- her whole life takes place in the protection of night. Lila's narration is ethereal; in fact, it is almost ghostly. After being secluded from the outside world, she develops two friends that only she can see. These two girls wear wings and bring gifts that Lila believes will allow her to finally feel the sun on her skin.This book is a journey of Lila's ultimate self-acceptance and her realization that not all dreams come true. The way in which she discovers this is not destroying, though. Her light is a softer kind of light, and being a moon girl is just as good as being a "sun goddess". Angela spins a world of shadows that is not entirely dark. Lila's world is strangely alluring; it is a whole different place than ours, but she keeps it all in perspective. While we spend our days under the intensity of the sun, she will forever be able to relax under her soft moonlight. This book has stayed with me since I first read it eight years ago. Lila is a companion that haunts me. Her life has always drawn me to it, and it will draw in all readers who open this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Great *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2017* I guess it's a good gift for a readet ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars I highly recommend A COOL MOONLIGHT. *by K***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2004* Because of a rare condition called xeroderma pigmentosum, sunshine and some artificial light have always been eight-year-old Lila's enemy. Sunlight burns her skin and can even cause her to go blind, so Lila lives in darkened rooms and is involved in many nighttime adventures. She sleeps during the day and attends school in her own dim kitchen. She waits each evening for sunset and darkness, when she can go outside to play and explore her neighborhood. Even at night, she must slather herself with sunscreen, wear sunglasses and cover up.Lila doesn't lack for companions. Monk, Lila's older sister, calls the family "shadow people and proud of it." Monk is Lila's co-adventurer, bundling her sister up at night to take her to coffee houses and on rides. After dark, Lila's dad accompanies her to the grocery store where they race shopping carts in the parking lot. David, a neighbor boy, brings Lila comic books and comradeship. Reading the comic books makes her want to be a super hero called the sun goddess/moon girl.Lila's friends, Elizabeth and Alyssa, visit her only at night; somehow no one else has met them or even seen them. Her mysterious nocturnal visitors secretly plot with Lila to find a way for her to enjoy sunlight. In fact, they promise to help fill her sun bag. When it's filled, Lila will no longer have to live only in darkness. She can't wait until she's able to go outside during the day and dance in sunshine as a true sun goddess/moon girl.As time goes by and her ninth birthday approaches, Lila begins to wonder why no one has seen Alyssa and Elizabeth --- even when she points them out. She also puzzles over the sun bag --- how can filling it with sun pieces "fix" her?This is an intriguing, unusual story told in a graceful, childlike voice. Although I was too aware of the lack of capitals for the first few pages, I soon realized it contributed to the smooth stream-of-consciousness narrative flow. I highly recommend A COOL MOONLIGHT for its gorgeous writing, complex mysteries and triumphant conclusion. --- Reviewed by Terry Miller Shannon (terryms2001@yahoo.com) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/52463932-a-cool-moonlight-paperback-april-21-2005](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/52463932-a-cool-moonlight-paperback-april-21-2005) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
