The Moon Ring written and illustrated by Randy DuBurke is an African American fiction story book. It is set on the hottest night in summer during a blue moon, the second full moon in a month which rarely occurs. Maxine and her Grandmother are sitting on the porch where Grandma is telling Maxine about magic that occurs during a blue moon. All of a sudden a sparkling, silver glowing ring drops from the sky. Maxine decides it must be magic and makes a wish. She has four wishes and each time she makes a wish she goes on an adventure to a new place. The illustrations are vivid and appear realistic making each page pop out of the paper.
