Moon Window

I really like the Moon Window. I like it because even though it is some what slow in the beginning, it is in pretty good detail. I find it interesting bercause Jo Ellen has so many emotions and when things get tough, she always tries to either fix it or go along with it until she can do something about it.I think the best part of the book is when Jo Ellen dreams that she is running away. When she woke up, she was in the clothes that she originally planned to run away in. Her hair was messed up and she was very dirty.I believe that Jane Louise Curry did a great job on showing how the characters felt, especially Jo Ellen. Each character had something unique about them whether it was their family background or their ambition. Thoughout the whole book you can tell what the conflict is. Jo Ellen is constantly battling herself and other people that are around her on her feelings, family and how she wants and wishes her life to be.

JoEllen has has her mom all to herself for a long time until her mom meets George in the church choir and decides to get married. During the honeymoom, JoEllen gets shipped off to her Granty's mansion. Her plan is to escape during the night and be home by late morning. She finds the perfect way to get out, a moon window in the attic leading out to a sturdy tree branch. All is going well until she discovers that she is walking through the past. She returns to the mansion only to travel through the moon window again and again and learn more and more about her past.
