Full Moon · Ronnikka Tyler Book 1

For parents

Full Moon is a young adult mystery about a sixteen-year-old who finds evidence that she has been leaving her house at night with no memory of it, and sets out to prove it.

What it's about

Ronnikka Tyler runs cross-country, gets A's in Data Science and walks home from school every day with her best friend. When a doctor finds a small mark on her arm that she can't explain, she starts collecting evidence the way she was taught to: dates, records, one test at a time. Her parents love her and are trying to help. The mystery is what she finds, and what it adds up to.

Book 1 ends on a cliffhanger. The story finishes in Book 2.

Content note

This story deals with the abuse of a minor. Nothing is shown.

The same note is at the back of the book, where a reader who wants it can find it and one who doesn't won't have the mystery spoiled. A few things you may want to know before your teen reads it:

• The story is told by Ronnikka, and it stays with what she sees and finds. Nothing that happens on the nights she can't remember is described.
• There are no sex scenes and no graphic violence.
• Some adults in the story are not what they seem. Her family is not one of them.

Many parents read a book like this first, or alongside their teen. If you'd like to talk about it together, the questions it raises are good ones: who a young person can tell, and what to do when an adult she trusts isn't safe.

If your teen recognizes something

The back of the book points readers to a short page of free, established helplines. It's here for you too: cbattaglia.net/ronnikka/help.
