It is suitable for children aged 4-11, offering a rich read-aloud experience for younger children and an engaging independent read for older elementary students.

Then she meets tiny, brave Bonaventure (a talking dancer-mouse) who takes her to the mysterious monastery hidden in a secret fold of Clair-de-Lune's apartment building.
