About this product

Product Information

Betsy Byars, Newbery Medal-winning author of The Summer of the Swans, presents this delightful and inspiring memoir, which also offers an insightful look at her writing process. The Moon that inspires this memoir isn't the one found in the night sky, but instead Bety's eponymous reptile companion--a huge (and harmless) blacksnake that she found in the rafters of her porch. Using this serendipitous meeting as a springboard for an exploration of her life and her art, Betsy Byar's memoir is filled with energy, wit, and joy. She shows how "the good scraps" of her life, from a bully named Bubba to a gift-wrapped dime, weave into her work. An ALA Notable Book "Pure pleasure."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Extraordinarily skillful. A must."--Kirkus (stared review)

Reviews
"An adroit blend of telling experiences from Byars's life and ingenuous confidences about her writing. This ebullient self-portrait is so delightfully informal that it may seem artless; actually, the dovetailing of the several elements is extraordinarily skillful, the comments on writing as sage as they are succinct." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "It is pure pleasure and privilege to be invited into the world of such a warm and engaging artist. This goes far beyond most memoirs in its ability to engage the reader." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review), An adroit blend of telling experiences from Byars's life and ingenuous confidences about her writing. This ebullient self-portrait is so delightfully informal that it may seem artless; actually, the dovetailing of the several elements is extraordinarily skillful, the comments on writing as sage as they are succinct.

  • the moon and i

    this book has absolutely nothing to do with the moon. this is a story about betsy byars life. she tells about some points in her life that inspired some of her books. and she explains how a snake made her think about it all. this is the first book i've read by her. if all of her books are writen like this, then i would love to read others.
