The Moonlight Man
by Betty Ren Wright

Lexile:  660

When 15-year-old Jenny Joslin and her family move to Crescent Lane, she doesn't think they are the only ones living in the house. Pictures appear and disappear from the wall.  There are loud crying noises coming from neighbor's house.  There seem to be disasters all around her home and they all seem to be connected to the "moonlight man."  Even Jenny and her younger sister have seen "something" wandering in the woods around their street.

Jenny decides that she is going to find out exactly what is happening.  She goes to the library to find out about the neighborhood before they moved there.  She talks to neighbors on the street, and starts to think that the "moonlight man" is somehow connected to the Carpeks who have lived in the neighborhood a long time..  They aren't very friendly, so Jenny gets no help from them.  So who exactly is the "Moonlight Man?"

I liked this book even though I don't particularly care for ghost stories.   Jenny used the lifeskill of determination to solve the mystery and it was interesting how she learned facts.  I read the book mostly during the day and not before I went to sleep at night.
