Synopsis
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, and he cannot 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 whether his pet is a toad or a rabbit? As a visitor tells more stories and the days pass, Rendi begins to realise that perhaps it is his own story that holds the answers to all those questions. The companion to Where the Mountain Meets the Moon.
