Starry River of the Sky
by Grace Lin
Little Brown Books for Young Readers
From the publisher: The moon is missing from the remote Village of
Clear Sky, but only a young boy named Rendi seems to notice! Rendi has
run away from home and is now working as a chore boy at the village inn.
He can't help but notice the village's peculiar inhabitants and their
problems-where has the innkeeper's son gone? Why are Master Chao and
Widow Yan always arguing? What is the crying sound Rendi keeps hearing?
And how can crazy, old Mr. Shan not know if his pet is a toad or a
rabbit?
But one day, a mysterious lady arrives
at the Inn with the gift of storytelling, and slowly transforms the
villagers and Rendi himself. As she tells more stories and the days pass
in the Village of Clear Sky, Rendi begins to realize that perhaps it is
his own story that holds the answers to all those questions.
Newbery Honor author Grace Lin brings readers another enthralling fantasy featuring her marvelous full-color illustrations. Starry River of the Sky is filled with Chinese folklore, fascinating characters, and exciting new adventures.
