The Half-A-Moon Inn
Fleischman, Paul / Jacobi, Kathy
A twelve-year-old mute boy sets off to find his mother in a blizzard, and becomes the captive of an evil woman in the Half-a-Moon Inn. 'A suspenseful tale with archetypal characters and a haunting atmosphere. . . . The brisk pace and steady accumulation of events build tension, while Fleischman's fine writing begs to be read aloud." --BL. 1980 Children's Reviewers' Choices (BL)
