Over Olympia and Leah's heads, Americans race the Russians to the moon; on their television sets young men fight and struggle in the mud of Viet Nam; and America holds its breath between heartbreaking tragedies. But on Miss Brinker's school bus, in the seat with the rip in the green plastic, Olympia and Leah fall in love, the way children do immediately, completely, and without knowing or caring why they shouldn't. Olympia Crooms, with her happy hair, and Leah Breck, with her silly red dog, are two smart girls. Olympia's father works other men's orange groves in rural Central Florida and tells his daughter that school is the best way to reach for the stars. Leah's father moves his family from the Space Coast to the country where she and her brother can climb orange trees, imagine lions in the tall grass, and learn to feed baby cows milk from a bottle. At Evegan Elementary, two smart girls find each other and have to decide if they will learn the hardest lessons of all the false traditions of their fathers.

When my out-of-state friends visit me here in Florida - usually to hit the theme parks - I always make a point of showing them the "real" Florida, as well. I take them to the springs, swamps and prairies, and down the back roads to places like Micanopy, Evinston and McInstosh. Evegan, the setting for "Mooncalf", is such a place as well. This book is a spot-on portrayal of growing up in rural Central Florida in the 60's. I know that life firsthand and Zern captures it in such a way that not one element of the place and time is left lacking. This story meets my highest criteria of what a book must deliver in that it is not predictable (You may think it is, but then you see you've been surprised!) and it offers much food for thought (A full meal perhaps - dished up southern-style.). My northern guests will now find "Mooncalf" beside the bed in our guest room. A place of honor for any book.Product details

I loved everything about this book from the cover to the writing . It is worth getting and having on your reading list.
Mooncalf was a total surprise to me. I was surprised by how much this story moved me. I was surprised by how touched I was. I'm giving Mooncalf a 5 star rating because not only did I enjoy the message of this book, but the author was able to evoke deep emotions in me with just her words. Amazing! Very well written!
I love the whole story line. Very good writing. The author was very insightful regarding children and adults being biased.
My 12-year-old son read this book. He was so engrossed in it that he finished in 2 days. He loved it. He said it was like Where the Red Fern Grows. I've started reading it. I'm about half way finished. It is wonderful. I've recommended it to my son's reading teacher.
Great work, Mrs. Zern.
Amazing story of friendship.
Having lived in this time period and also in Florida, I related very well to the plight of these young girls. It is a beautiful story of friendship and love and it is excellent reading! It was very easy to be immersed in the setting and into the characters’ lives, which made it hard to put down. I love the analogies used throughout the story. I highly recommend this book for everyone.
The first time I Read Mooncalf I knew it needed to be a must-read for middle school. It leaves you feeling a whole spectrum of emotions. It will bring you to tears and remind you how innocent and pure children's friendships are. It is written beautifully. You will Enjoy this sweet book.
