“The lyrical prose style is reminiscent of Delia Owens’s Where the Crawdads Sing but the suspension of disbelief and ability to connect to the wacky characters is what readers will find most engaging about the story.”―School Library Journal "The Art of Dumpster Diving packs a wallop. Glorious storytelling in an authentic voice.”– Adriana Trigiani New York Times bestselling author of Big Stone Gap and Tony's Wife “A moving and heart-felt story of family and community, and the symbiotic ways the two can shape and sustain one another.”– Jo Watson Hackl, Author of Smack Dab in the Middle of Maybe, Winner, Southern Book Prize for Children’s Literature From award-winning author Jennifer Moses comes an incredible story of the power of family, love and the human-spirit. Sixteen-year-old James and his little brother, Danny, live in Crystal Springs, Louisiana, with their grandmother, mother, and first cousin, Lila. The family is working class, proud, strict, and church-going. When a big, clumsy boy named Gabriel moves up the street with his minuscule and mysterious “auntie,” James has a new friend who he loves and hates in equal measure. When Grandma dies and Lila runs away, James and Danny’s mother struggles to make things work, but something’s wrong, so wrong that one awful day, James finds his mother lying in her bed, dead. Panicked, he runs to the only person he can think of, his friend Gabriel. Gabriel insists that if the authorities know that there are no adults at home, they’ll send James and Danny away to foster care or worse, and ends up convincing James that the only way to maintain any kind of decent life for himself and his little brother is to carry on as if things are normal. The boys bury the body under an abandoned house, and, as James tries to make ends meet (procuring food from dumpsters) things become increasingly desperate. It’s Gabriel who comes up with a “master plan” to find a woman who looks enough like the boys’ mother that she can pass for her---and get money out of the bank. They recruit Lucetta from a soup kitchen, and she moves in. For a while, things begin to look up---and then they fall apart completely. But in the process of losing everything, James and his brother Danny gain a new family, one based on grit, faith and hope.

The moon tells the enchanting bedtime story of Gatos Musikos, a most remarkable cat who travels the world over on a moonbeam, playing his little violin and dancing his special twirling dance for all the sleeping creatures of the earth. No creature is too big or too small, too skinny or too round, too urban or too remote. Gatos plays for them all as they sleep while the moon gazes down from his night cushion in the sky. The marvelous places Gatos visits on his travels and the animals that inhabit them are brought to life in richly colored illustrations filled with delightful details for a child to discover. Bedtime and falling asleep become a peaceful, reassuring time, for no child will ever be forgotten by this enchanted cat, and there will always be a very special tune and a very special twirling dance awaiting in their dreams.
