In Moonfall, thirty-one street lamps glow each night beneath a moon that, according to village legend, once came down to visit. Eleven-year-old Milo has spent most of his life lighting them. Then, one October evening, he discovers a sealed letter hidden inside Lamp Thirteen. The message leads him beyond the familiar streets of Moonfall, up Hob Hill and towards the mysterious Moonstair, accompanied by Admiral Pettibone, a magnificently self-important grey goose. Something is wrong with the moon. Strange pocket-watches are appearing in the village. Lights are going out where they should not. And somewhere beyond the last lamp, a road is waiting. Soon Milo finds himself journeying through a world of standing stones, peculiar markets, river travellers, impossible bureaucracies, a dragon with a cold, and places where the darkness is more than the absence of light. But some journeys are not really about how far you travel. They are about whom you refuse to leave in the dark. Warm, whimsical, and quietly moving, Milo of Moonfall is an old-fashioned fantasy adventure filled with wonder, humour, mystery, and unforgettable characters. At its heart is a simple truth: sometimes the bravest thing you can do for someone is keep a light burning until they find their way home. Perfect for reading aloud, sharing as a family, or curling up with beneath a lamp of your own.
