A Single Shot

Ned fired the forbidden rifle just once, at a flickering shadow in the autumn moonlight. But someone — a face, fleetingly seen staring at him from an attic window — was watching.

And when a one-eyed cat turns up at an elderly neighbor's woodshed, Ned is caught in a web of guilt, fear, and shame that he cannot escape — until another moonlit night, come spring, brings redemption and surprising revelations.

When a one-eyed cat turns up in an elderly neighbor's yard, Ned is caught in a web of guilt, fear, and shame that infects every aspect of his life. Paula Fox's haunting and thought-provoking Newbery Honor novel is an unforgettable classic.
