In "Alabama Moon" by Watt Key, twelve-year-old Moon Blake has been raised in isolation by his survivalist father in the Alabama wilderness. After his father’s death, Moon is thrust into a world of harsh realities and danger as he attempts to navigate life outside of the woods. Determined to stay free and find his place in a society he knows little about, he encounters various characters, including kind-hearted friends and menacing figures. As he faces challenges and learns about trust, friendship, and the meaning of home, Moon embarks on a poignant journey of discovery and resilience.
