West of the Moon by New York Times bestselling author Margi Preus is a captivating blend of original fiction, myth, and folktale that tells the story of Astri, a young Norwegian girl determined to join her father in America.

After being separated from her sister and sold to a cruel goat farmer, Astri makes a daring escape. Armed with a troll treasure, a book of spells and curses, and a possibly magic hairbrush, she retrieves her little sister and sets off on a perilous journey.

With a mysterious companion and the malevolent goatman in pursuit, the girls traverse the Norwegian mountains, fields, and forests, weaving in and out of folktales and dreams as they make their way east of the sun and west of the moon. This richly woven narrative, inspired by Norwegian folklore and the author's family history, is a tale of courage, resilience, and the unbreakable bonds of family.

Winner of multiple awards, West of the Moon is a mesmerizing story that will linger with readers long after the final page is turned.

Perfect for fans of historical fiction, fantasy, and adventure, this book is a testament to the power of storytelling and the enduring spirit of those who dare to dream.
