The bell has been missing for years and nobody cares. The town is sleepwalking, the giant is lying in a field, and the only person who remembers what bells are for is a man named Orvil who has opinions about bronze.Then a rooster named Billy gets his heart broken and walks East. Through farms, past gossipy pigs and philosophical goats, toward sixteen lanes of the busiest road in the world - because Gladys is on the other side and he’s going to find her.And then the moon does something it has never done. It pulls Marisol home. To Mom’s kitchen. To Dad’s garage. To a neighborhood where an old woman’s lost glasses have been cursing everyone within eyeshot, and nobody thought to sit down and ask if she was okay.Marisol is getting close to the end. She can feel it. Tibby won’t say it. But the shelf is full, and the assignments keep coming, and somewhere in all of it - between a sleeping giant and a stubborn bird and a stink eye that won’t quit - she’s earning something she can’t quite name yet.This omnibus collects Books 13-15 of the Moon Over Marisol series.
