We have all the Isadora moon books and have read all of them multiple times (except this one that I read once to my 4 year old before writing this review). Harriet Muncaster seems to have done no research on astronomy before attempting this book and no one else in the process intervened. It could have been improved with a few pages at the end correcting the errors (the books gives the never challenged impression that meteors (which she insists on calling shooting stars throughout) never fall to earth. It's as though she doesn't know what they actually are which is unbelievable.) A few pages on how science can sometimes be treated with a fantasy lens in the fantasy genre would have been better than the cookie recipe. Harriet Muncaster has a responsibility, as a children's author, to the scientific literacy of her readers but seems to go out of her way to misinform. Please please, if anyone involved reads this, add a few pages at the end written by an astronomer for the paperback. (I have a physics degree so could correct as I went with my daughter but most parents don't have the knowledge to do that confidently). The characterisation of Nova is bad. She's very "I will never achieve my task" requiring comfort from Isadora. Then she's "nah, don't worry, this has happened multiple times before, it's always been fine." Then back to "this is hopeless". There were lots of immersion breaking points as well e.g. Cordelia picks her way through brambles rather than using magic or flying, the timing of travel and distances, Bartholomew making a cheese toastie so a joke about moon cheese can be forced in, Nova using "night" from the perspective of Isadora's town to determine when she has to get home, her mom working at a stardust factory. I'm just super super disappointed. I'm generally a fan of the series and am happy to read these books repeatedly but I know she can do better. My daughter thought it was great though. Her opinion matters the most from an enjoyment perspective but that's not all we read books for. Her narrative and (due to the subject matter) scientific education is also important.
