The Moorchild by Eloise Jarvis McGraw is the tale of a moorfolk child being raised by humans. It won a Newberry Honor, 1996.Saaski was not born to the smith and his wife, she was traded by the moorfolk for the human baby. She was traded because she did not have the ability to make herself invisible to humans. And it is no wonder, since her father was a human.
Now Saaski has to try and fit in with the human children around her. Although her memory of her early life has faded, she knows she does not fit in. She will have to find a way to blend, if not for her peace of mind, then for the safety of her parents. Humans are superstitious about Folk.
