The moon is missing, and no one besides Rendi, who has run away from home, angry at his father, notices. This handsomely illustrated companion novel surpasses Where the Mountain Meets the Moon in plot and prose, again using interspersed stories that circle around one another. The message that anger distorts while forgiveness transforms never seems repetitive and adroitly bolsters the characters' connections.
