Half-A-Moon Inn

by Paul Fleischman Narrated by Steven Crossley

Overview

Long ago in a land by the sea, 12-year-old Aaron lives with his mother in the wooded countryside. Because the boy is mute, he depends on his mother completely. But when a sudden blizzard strands his mother in a distant town, Aaron finds himself alone for the first time in his life. Setting out in the snow to look for his mother, the boy embarks on a perilous, silent journey that will carry him to the eerie Half-A-Moon Inn. There, held captive by the sharp-eyed Miss Grackle, Aaron will discover her wicked powers-ones that Aaron must destroy if he is ever to see his mother again. Paul Fleischman, an award-winning author of children's books, writes stories that capture the attention of even the most reluctant readers. Throughout Aaron's exciting adventure, The Half-A-Moon Inn fills with the sights and sounds of a magical, medieval world.

When an unexpected lizzard keeps Aaron's mother away longer than planned, he sets out to find her. What the 12 year old voiceless boy finds instead is great danger, as he becomes the prisoner of Miss Grackle, wicked proprietor of the ramshackle Half-a-Moon Inn. This captivating tale beckons to be read aloud as it keeps kids wide-eyed and on the edges of their seats, begging for more.
