Book description
'We've got at least seven hours to get what we want before the sun
comes up.'
School is over, and Lucy has the perfect way to celebrate: tonight
she's going to find Shadow, the mysterious graffiti artist whose work
appears all over the city. Somewhere in the glassy darkness, he's out
there, spraying colour, birds and blue sky on the night. And Lucy knows
that a guy who paints like Shadow is someone she could fall for - really
fall for. The last person Lucy wants to spend this night with is Ed, the
guy she's managed to avoid since punching him in the nose on the most
awkward date of her life. But when Ed tells Lucy he knows where to find
Shadow, the two of them are suddenly on an all-night search to places
where Shadow's pieces of heartbreak and escape echo off the city walls.
And what Lucy can't see is the one thing that's right before her eyes.
'Graffiti Moon is so beautifully crafted that the shift between points
of view is virtually seamless. Poet's free verse contributions are
rather like the tense pauses in great music -- a place for readers to
hold their breath and wait, skin tingling with anticipation, for the
change in pace, pitch and rhythm.' Cath Crowley was raised in rural
Victoria, Australia. She studied professional writing and editing at the
Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and works as both a freelance
writer and a part-time teacher in Melbourne. Cath's US debut, A Little
Wanting Song, was called 'incredible' and 'unforgettable' in a School
Library Journal starred review, and it was also an ALA-YALSA Best
Fiction for Young Adults title and a CCBC Choice. In 2011 Cath won the
presitigous Australian Prime Minister's Award for her teen novel
Graffiti Moon. To find out more about Cath and her books, please visit
