The Boy who Lit up the Sky (The Two Moons of Rehnor) by J. Naomi Ay is the story of Senya, a rather unusual hero. His life starts out in an orphanage in which only one person treats him well while all others abuse him and hate him for being different. And different he is: not does he look different from all the other kids, he also has certain powers that start to become stronger the older he gets. But he does not stay in the orphanage for long as his carer Sister Meri escapes with him when the boss of the orphanage wants to do something unspeakable to the little boy. But life does not get much easier after the escape. Sister Meri and Senya have some strange kind of connection, but all changes once the truth comes out and Senya is taken to the king. Because Senya is more than just an ordinary orphan boy.

The Boy who Lit up the Sky is a good and entertaining read because it shows readers that even the most unlikely characters can solve the hardest problems. It encourages the reader not to give up when things seem hopeless. You cheer on certain characters, and hope that other characters disappear from the stage quickly (unfortunately, some don't). It is a rather nice story and I liked the idea of the plot. The book is in general well written and has some interesting twists and turns along the way.
