Kelly Barnhill Collection 3 Books Set:
The Girl Who Drank the Moon:
Every year, the people of the Protectorate leave a baby as an offering to the witch who lives in the forest. They hope this sacrifice will keep her from terrorizing their town. But the witch in the Forest, Xan, is in fact a good witch who shares her home with a wise Swamp Monster and a Perfectly Tiny Dragon. Xan rescues the children and delivers them to welcoming families on the other side of the forest, nourishing the babies with starlight on the journey.
The Witch's Boy:
Quiet, stuttering Ned lives with his mother, Sister Witch, the village keeper of an ancient store of magic. It is unruly magic that only she can tame - until the day the Bandit King comes to steal the magic, and it bolts out of its pot and into the wide world beyond. Thrown into a wild adventure, Ned must venture into the enchanted forest that borders his village, where he meets Aine, the Bandit King's daughter. Can she help him find his voice, and a way to speak to the magic?
The Ogress and the Orphans:
Stone-in-the-Glen, once a lovely town, has fallen on hard times. Fires, floods, and other calamities have caused the townsfolk to lose their library, their school, their park, and all sense of what it means to be generous, and kind. The people put their faith in the Mayor, a dazzling fellow who promises he alone can help. After all, he is a famous dragon slayer. (At least, no one has seen a dragon in his presence.) Only the clever orphans of the Orphan House and the kindly Ogress at the edge of town can see how dire the town's problems are.
