Genre: Middle Grade Fantasy
Publishing Date: November 11, 2025
Synopsis:
Acclaimed, mega-bestselling Eoin Colfer, named “a master storyteller” by School Library Journal, returns to the world of Juniper Lane for a lively new adventure! This time, Juniper takes off on a summertime quest in a story sure to delight young readers all year round.Juniper and her loyal flying reindeer Skära are the first ever Guardians of Cedar Wood. With Juniper’s mentor Niko back in the North Pole, they’re entrusted with protecting the magical forest hidden in the middle of London because there’s a teeny-tiny chance that he left behind a few sparks of magic… but definitely not enough to attract any dangerous magical creatures. Probably.It turns out Niko actually left behind a lot of magic, transforming the entire forest into a haven for powerful creatures just as he’s stranded far from London. A witch wielding a flaming dagger, a cursed queen desperate for a cure, and a pack of wolves out for revenge are all in pursuit of a legendary fox with the power to grant a wish under the midsummer Blood Moon―and the very fate of the Cedar Wood, and possibly all of Britain, hangs in the balance. Protecting the forest from these calamitous newcomers is a lot of work for a thirteen-year-old and her trusty reindeer, but Juniper is determined to save the world.And one more thing―this adventure features a giant ground sloth, which is about the size of a Toyota Prius, but with more claws.

This was a me thing I had not realised that Firefox Moon was a sequel to Juniper's Christmas which I am currently reading and having a great time.
Even though I still had an amazing time and was captivated by Eoin's use of Irish Folklore a sprinkling of others and you have a very happy reader who devoured the book and like in Oliver Twist "Please Sir Can I have some more?' I loved Juniper but her usage of Cockney Accent grated on me a bit and a bit too trusting which i my view gives a lot of scope and more writing material hint hint.
For all the above reasons Firefox Moon receives 4 stars
