Standing atop the rusty green dumpster behind his orphanage on the night of a full harvest moon, a lonely, abandoned teenage boy meets the beautiful, mysterious moon spirit girl who’s been haunting his dreams. When he reluctantly agrees to guard the magical Orb she’s fleeing with, the mischievous and powerful object turns his world upside down.

From the Author:
“I write complex books full of high-adventure, scary moments, and tension but ultimately feel-good books with positive messages and explorations of overcoming loneliness, coming of age, and the power of a kind heart. They have been enjoyed by readers as young as 8 and as old as 80. My goal as a storyteller is for readers to lose themselves in a heartfelt, magical, whimsical adventure that leaves them feeling warm inside.”
