Kluitman Class - Behind the Moon

Behind the moon was awarded the Newbery Medal in the USA (best youth book of the year), in England with the Children's Book Award and in Austria with the Literaturhaus Award. Behind the moon is about the 13-year-old Salamanca who wants to find her mother. In the meantime, she tells her grandfather and grandmother stories about her friend Phoebe's mother, who one day disappeared without any warning, but returned after a while. Eventually it turns out that Salamanca actually tells her own story, but her mother never came back. It is a beautiful and moving story about a 13-year-old girl who does not want to accept that her mother died and the related mourning.
