Review: Good addition for fans of the series

This short addition to the Forest of Hands and Teeth series gives readers a glimpse into the background and psychology of Tabitha.  Those of you who have read The Forest of Hands and Teeth will recognize Sister Tabitha as the strict, scary, maybe even a little crazy head of the Sisterhood that tries to stifle Mary's love and curiosity.  Hare Moon delves into the past, when Tabitha is a young, curious teenager herself.  When she meets a boy on the path into the forest, she learns that what she once knew was not entirely true, and learns the meaning of sacrifice to those in her village.  Being a short story, Hare Moon is indeed short and leaves the reader wanting a bit more.  However, I think it stands as a valuable addition to the series.  You can read it first if you haven't read The Forest of Hands and Teeth, or you can read it after the entire series like I did.  I would recommend it to those who were curious about why Sister Tabitha acted the way she did.
