**Milo of Moonfall** *Being a True and Particular History of a Lamplighter's Boy, a Grey Goose, and the Moon's Missing Hours* In the village of Moonfall, nestled at the bottom of a green bowl of hills, thirty-one lamps are lit every evening by the village lamplighters. Eleven-year-old Milo lives among them with a question far larger than himself. When the moon begins to fail and a mysterious lady in grey starts borrowing light that isn't hers, Milo sets out beyond the last lamp to find the answer. His road leads him through the Twilight Road and the Silver Country, and finally to the Well of Dusk. Along the way he meets a pompous Admiral, a goose who serves as under-clerk of the Ledger, a tinker with a wagon of clocks, and a dragon with a cold. Warm, wry and gently funny, this is a bedtime story for readers of all ages, written to be read slowly by lamplight and aloud, with the voices. *Some destinies are written in the stars.* **Short version (for a store listing or back cover):** When the moon starts to fail, a lamplighter's boy follows the dark road past the last lamp to find out why, and learns what it costs to keep a light burning. **Details:** 5 parts, 56 chapters, about 98,000 words in 421 pages.
