UNDER THE MOON explores real issues pertaining to trauma that impact many youth, including abuse, self-harm, suicide, homelessness, etc. I thought Catgirl's development as she began to heal from trauma felt appropriate. She isn't completely healed at the end, but she has started to grow. The only reservation that I have about placing this book in my classroom as a middle school teacher is the maturity of the content matter. While I would never advocate for censorship, this book is definitely better suited for mature high school students. Some of the content is not for the faint of heart, and the book frequently deals with sensitive content matter. Also, I was personally about to fight someone over the fate of Cinders. #savethecat All of this said, UNDER THE MOON was a thoughtful addition to the DCU, and fans of comic books and YA are sure to enjoy this character study of Selena Kyle.
