Two Moons in August

This book rocks! I've read this books a million times and it's still as good as the first time i've read it. This book is about family relationships, and love. It's a really good book for mature 12 year olds and up. It's a story about a girl who becomes interested in the boy across the street. Read it and find out what happens.

i am a big reading fan, and this is one of the best reads ever. i love this book so much. you laugh, you cry, and it has a totally awesome story. too bad its not a series

Both my mother and I read this and were simply amazed. Thestory has a beautiful setting and I really loved every minute of it.The characters were well developed and the amount of detail was just the right amount for me!

This book was wonderful! The emotions in it seemed to make me feel like I was there as well. It was so well written. I felt like it was real.

I first read Two Moons in August when I was in grade school. This year I will be a Senior in high school and I know I have read this book at least 25 times. Nothing has ever touched me as deeply. Brook's presents her characters and situations with such bittersweetness and honesty that the reader feels their sorrow and their awkwardness. They experience the heat of a Canadian summer, the eccentricity of the 1950's, the loss of a mother, the love/hate relationship of sisterhood, and the restlessness of first love. The best part is that they experience all of this through a lurid and funny first person narative that hovers between reality and the fanciful illusions of ourselves that we all house inside. Two Moons in August has not received the attention it deserves. As a reader I came away feeling sane and human. There is no one who has a heart or a soul that would not feel the same after reading this original and tender novel.
