This absolutely lovely book is a wonder to read. Although written as a Middle Grades book, it is suitable and enjoyable for all ages.
A dreary town shrouded in sorrow leaves a baby in the woods every year to appease a witch that will otherwise destroy them all, only... Xan the witch does not know why these babies keep being left alone in the woods. So, she rescues them and finds them new homes in other towns, until one baby, Luna, is accidentally fed moonlight by mistake and Xan raises her as her own, along with her friend the swamp monster and a tiny dragon with an adorable delusion that he is "simply enormous."
A boy in the town is determined to kill the witch, there is a crazy woman in a tower, a corrupt government, and a ravenous tiger on the prowl.
Highly highly recommended for all readers - this book was impossible to put down. The audio book version is simply delightful and the narrator does a marvelous job.
