Inviting the Moon to Supper

Product Description

Somewhere between blurred boundaries of real and imagined worlds, a newly orphaned girl loses her beloved dog while searching for her magician grandfather. But her search extends too far into a land where time is frozen and she is forced to navigate a ruthless haunt of Norse mythological outcasts. Unless she accepts help from a misanthropic mask maker and Crazy Dog Man-the town misfit, she too is in danger of vanishing.

Review

“Inviting the Moon to Supper is like stepping into a world so imaginative that there can be no turning back. Filled with atmospheric descriptions of dual realities; a small 1950’s Northern town and a mythical snowy wilderness where time has no relevance, an orphaned Ojibwa girl is forced to brave a dangerous land to search for her beloved dog and adoptive grandfather. Absorbing, and magical with unforgettable characters. I lived within the pages of this entrancing tale and will gladly return again.”

“Inviting the Moon to Supper instantly captivates with magic as delicate as falling snow and characters who evolve into unintended heroes too compelling to forget. A timeless story that wraps itself around your soul and doesn’t let go.”

“INVITING THE MOON TO SUPPER by C.J. Clark Using multiple points of view to tell her story, the author gives the reader a fascinating narrative rooted in the physical world and intertwined with another hidden world that lies just beyond what we think we know. Facing great challenges, the protagonist, Sam, a thirteen-year-old Ojibwa girl, starts out to find her dog, along the way meeting a remarkable cast of characters.

“CJ Clark gives her readers another page turning story in her latest work Inviting the Moon to Supper Clark’s always exceptional imagery is at its best as her characters interact in a magical, mysterious, and scary place where evil and compassion collide. Norse mythological allusions are a bonus that enhance the weaving of this tale. A fascinating read on multiple levels and a distinct departure from her usual genre.”

Excitement grips us through every twist and turn until months later, Sam wakes up battered and bruised on the front porch of a friend’s house in Green Earth. What was real? What were the dreams caused by her injuries? To find DeeOgee, she had to return to the other side of Crooked Hills.”
