Maggot Moon Michael L Printz Award Honor Titles Sally Gardner Julian Crouch Books

Despite its Printz Award, it is tempting to set this little book aside as derivative: Night meets Milkweed meets Holes with a dash of Hunger Games. But I found myself loving it. This is NOT a book for early middle schoolers, even though its Lexile is only 690. Savvy 8's and higher make the best audience. It is the narrative voice that is special. Allow your students the chance to delight, briefly, in similes and metaphors that create some semblance of beauty and joy in what is a terrible alternative-history (England overcome by Nazis). There is much to discuss here and many passages worth closer reading. Just don't recommend that a student read it in isolation...

Maggot Moon Michael L Printz Award Honor Titles Sally Gardner Julian Crouch Books Reviews

There isn't much to say about this book that you can't figure out by yourself by reading a small sample, by reading the descriptions, by looking at the beautiful artwork on the cover of the book. All you really need to know is the book is brilliant, broke my heart, sewed it back together, and broke it again. I couldn't stop reading it, and I have clearly found not only a new favorite book, but a new favorite book I will be reading time and time again.

Read it. You won't regret it.

EDIT

I also wanted to mention the age appropriateness of this book. As the UK version actually does have a warning on the back for violence and language, but the US one does not, I think it's important to know that this book is probably not meant for 12 and under's.
Great! Thanks!
Cannot recommend this book enough. Excellent, excellent and more excellent!
This dark tale of a totalitarian future society is not for the credulous reader or a those who have no background in dystopian literature. Under the guidance of a skilled/leader or teacher, "Maggot Moon" can be a most worthwhile read for junior high and high school students. But don't give this to a young reader who thinks of other worlds in a Star Wars world.
Maggot Moon is deliciously layered and the protagonist Standish Treadwell is as endearing as they come. He’s a fifteen-year-old boy, but he can’t read or write because he’s dyslexic. But who needs reading and writing when you can be as affectionate and intelligent as Standish? When you can see what everyone else can’t and feel what others dare not? When you have Gramps and Hector in your life? And then Hector gets taken away and what’s on the other side of the wall takes on ominious proportions. The book is set in a dsytopian England called the Motherland, very remiscent of Nazi Germany. And the way the Motherland are going to prove themselves to the world is by putting a human on the moon. This is a powerful novel. Keep a tissue handy if you’re going to read it. Did I just say "if"? No, no, you MUST read it!
We started reading this on a writing class and I ended up sitting in the room for two hours to finish it afterwards. It has short chapters that flow seamlessly together even when they are completely unrelated. The relationships between the characters were equally effortless, and didn't feel forced into it for the sake of familial or romantic bonds. I especially love the interaction of Hector and Standish, which is a large part of Standish's motivation in the book.
The setting is equally lovely, a dystopia which is at once a fantasy land and an eery mirror into real life. The writing amplifies this, with breath-taking phrases and effortless use of made up slang. Would recommend reading, though not on a day or week in which you wish to be happy again. The version lacks the sequential illustrations of the printed version, which are spectacular but not for the faint of heart. Kind of like the children's series Animorphs, but with more death.
I hated this book. I loved this book. That about says it all. I trusted the conventions of first person narration, and I should have known better based on the surreal story unfolding in these pages. Expect the unexpected. Be ready to experience The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas' heartbreak, but also be ready to treasure Hector and Standish and Gramps and all those who fought the fight. Be ready to take a good look at your world of Croca-Cola if you're a North American, and hope you can hold on to it with all it's flaws.
