Builder of the Moon

Stephen Fair

A dark family secret ... 
Stephen is fifteen when the nightmares begin. The dream is always the same: a crying baby, a wooden ladder, a house built in the branches, fire everywhere. Night after night, the fantastic images haunt him. More chilling than the dream itself, though, is the fact that this is the very same nightmare that haunted Stephen's brother, Marcus--the dream that drove Marcus to run away. Now Stephen is the age his brother was when he left, and he wonders what it all means.
Determined not to run from the truth, Stephen steels himself for a journey of remarkable discovery that he hopes will eventually lead him to the truth about the past and, ultimately, about himself. 00-01 South Carolina Book Award Nomination Masterlist (Grds 6-9)

A masterful new novel about memory, family secrets, and the transforming power of truth.  It happened to his older brother, and now it's happening to Stephen. Night after night, he has the same nightmare--a baby crying in a treetop, a remarkable tree house threatened by fire from below. His distraught mother calls in Hesketh Martin. A witch, Stephen calls her. A practitioner of "applied kinesiology," his mother insists. But weird potions can't cure Stephen. Nor could psychiatrists heal his brother, Marcus, who left the family four years before, shortly after their father left. Now fifteen himself, the same age Marcus was when he ran away, Stephen is determined to unlock the meaning of his bad dreams and uncover the story of his own childhood. With characteristic wit and perception, Tim Wynne-Jones has crafted a masterful novel that has much to say about memory, family secrets, and the transforming power of truth.
