Diary of a Teenage Moon Goddess gives you a chance to see what you might have missed as you live vicariously with the Misfits.
Their leader Felix, is thirteen, raised in the shadow of his genius-level older brother and ignored by his parents. He tries to carve out a place for himself as he organizes the outcast kids in his neighborhood.
There's Maxwell, clumsy and overweight. And Jolene, acerbic, and skinny. Orly, who surprises everyone. All about to enter middle school.
Then along comes, Diana, a strange and troubled girl with a penchant for lying. She has just been taken in, rescued really, by her grandmother and soon becomes known as the moon goddess for her name and for her midnight activities as she sneaks out at night to roam the quiet streets and dark beaches.
Felix runs across her in the predawn hours on the first day of summer vacation as he shows up at his favorite fishing spot and notices girl's clothes neatly folded on the beach. The meeting does not go well for him. But he later meets her again one night while he and his friends are returning from a swim across the bayou to steal lumber for a treehouse they plan to build. After a brief confrontation, Diana throws in with them. After they complete it, they gather there for a midnight celebration, complete with beer stolen from one of their father's refrigerators. During the party, Diana suggests they play a game. And that game changes their lives.
The early part of the story takes place in Felix's head as he tries, from deep in the Cambodian jungle, to recall his early days.
Then several years past the point of his last fading memories of home, the plot continues with his actual life as he tries to make it home again.
As for Diana, only you, the reader, get to see into her innermost thoughts through her diary entries. And it is this diary that holds the key to the novel's title and its full story. For therein lies the tale.
