I love the way Cath Crowley strings words together. Graffiti Moon was one of my favourite books for 2011. I was guilty of sharing it around with lots of friends and gloating ‘I called it’ when it won so many awards. My personal reading criteria for a great book is an enthralling story and beautiful words. I like other mixes too, but that one’s my favourite. And it describes Graffiti Moon perfectly.

In that nothing night

The stars caught the bus

To the other side of town

To go to the pub

The moon followed

Like moons do
