(2) 4-6 Every year, the Protectorate elders leave a baby in the woods to appease a witch no one has seen. In fact, the witch rescues and finds homes for the babies; she even adopts one, the particularly magical Luna. Barnhill's fantasy has a slightly ungainly plot, but in theme and emotion, it is focused: love--familial, maternal, filial, friendly--is its engine and moral.
