Moon Dancer Book

While camping and exploring the remote canyons of southern Utah, fifteen-year-old Mira responds to their beauty and spiritual mystery and makes some surprising discoveries about herself. "Rostkowski's romantic plot is nicely entwined with the story of a young woman's growing awareness of self and of her connections to the archetypal feminine images she sees in the ancient art. Combining adventure, discovery, and first love, this well-written novel can serve as an excellent bridge between YA romance and mainstream adult fiction."—Booklist
