Cath Crowlety's Graffiti Moon





Title: Graffiti Moon
Author: Cath Crowley
Publisher: Pan Macmillan Australia
Pages: 264 p.
Summary (from Goodreads):
 "Let me make it in time. Let me meet Shadow. The guy who paints in the dark. Paints birds trapped on brick walls and people lost in ghost forests. Paints guys with grass growing from their hearts and girls with buzzing lawn mowers."

It’s the end of Year 12. Lucy’s looking for Shadow, the graffiti artist everyone talks about. 

His work is all over the city, but he is nowhere.

Ed, the last guy she wants to see at the moment, says he knows where to find him. He takes Lucy on an all-night search to places where Shadow’s thoughts about heartbreak and escape echo around the city walls.

But the one thing Lucy can’t see is the one thing that’s right before her eyes.

Opening:
My friend recommended me this book, which I am very glad that she did. It was about eleven at night, and I was bored reading a fantasy book, when I began to read Graffiti Moon. I was finished at five in the morning. I didn't get enough sleep, but it was worth it.

Content:
I found it easier for me to write a review with numbers or bullets, this is not my first book-blog. (The old one--I was procrastinating. Yeah.) But in this new one, I want to write something new.
So here it is; Since I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars, I will give you 4 reasons why you'd better pick up this book if you have not:
