Moonshifter is a children's fantasy novel by British author Penny Chrimes, an enthralling story about a young girl who is a shapeshifter in a world where magic is outlawed. The book explores themes of bravery, identity, and environmental respect. The story follows Loveday Gwynne, a young girl who lives in the village of Penros where old magic and shapeshifting have been made illegal. Loveday is a natural shapeshifter who finds joy and freedom when she transforms into a Silver Hare, a magical creature with a special connection to the moon. However, as a girl, she must keep her true nature a secret to avoid persecution. The conflict arises when the new village Elder seeks to rid Penros of all shapeshifters and begins mining the cliffs below the village for gold, a practice forbidden by the old magic and one that threatens to destroy their home. Loveday must balance her human life with her animal instinct, find the courage to use her powers, and fight to reclaim her home before it is lost to the sea. Illustrated by Manuel Šumberac.
