Official synopsis Publisher
Lambda Literary Award winner Good Moon Rising is about two young women who fall in love while rehearsing a school play, realize they’re gay, and resist a homophobic campaign against them. Good Moon Rising, both a New York Public Library Book for the Teenage and a Notable Children’s Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies, “takes us into the dynamics of homophobia” (Horn Book). “Garden, who gave us one of the first honest, sensitive portrayals of two young women in love in the brilliant Anne On My Mind, Farrar, 1982, offers us another thought-provoking story of homosexual love.”-Voya
