INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Morpurgo, Michael

Listen to the Moon

(3) 4-6 During WWI in a small fishing village off the coast of England, a boy and his father discover a young girl, injured and mute. As the family nurses her back to health, townspeople grow suspicious that she's German; in reality, she's a survivor of the sunken Lusitania. Morpurgo incorporates the profound effects of war on ordinary people in an emotionally charged historical drama.
