This wasn’t part of the plan. Not the way he envisioned it, anyway. When Rendi hid in the wine merchant’s traveling cart he naturally assumed it would take him somewhere big and populated. The last thing he expected was to be dumped in the middle-of-nowhere Village of Clear Sky. Now a chore boy in the only inn in the vicinity, Rendi takes his frustrations out on the inhabitants. It isn’t until a mysterious and beautiful lady appears telling strange tales that he finds himself wrapped up in a mystery that may answer a twin problems: The location of the moon that disappeared several nights ago and the reason that only Rendi can hear unknown groans and moans on the night wind.

Add a CommentI have loved all of the books in this series from Grace Lin. This book was probably my least favorite of all of them, but it is still very much a solid read.
Starry River of the Sky (and Where the Mountain Meets the Moon and When the Sea Turned to Silver) would make great bedtime story books for elementary age kids. They will like to try to figure out if the stories told within the main story have to do with the characters we know or not!
Recommended for kids ages 8+
This was my least favorite of the series. It's still a great book. I love how all the titles in the series sound so magical.

I've love all the books in this series. I think they would make great bedtime stories for parents to read to their elementary age kids!
This is a great companion to "Where the Mountain Meets the Moon". It tells the story of Rendi, a boy who has stowed away in the back of a cart and ends up working in an in of a small village. Grace Lin weaves in stories based on traditional Chinese myths to tell both Rendi's story and the tales of the people in the inn. It is great fun and very interesting - I wished I could keep reading it long after the last page.
This book is awesome!
This book was really addicting! I just couldn't get my eyes off of it! I thought it wasn't going to be too good until I really got into the book.
**** SPOILER ALERT ****
I thought it was a good book because Rendi was really brave to leave his family and i got scared when the bad guys got him.
This is a very good book about a boy named Rendi and his adventure to bring the moon back.
Disjointed at times and lacks the seamless quality of its predecessor.
it's a really good book, though I think it's related to the book Were the Mountain meets the moon...
