Catherine Ames's father, Harry, has always been a mystery. Her parents divorced when she was three, and she has spent most of her life in a Montreal boarding school. When Harry suggests a month-long stay with him at his summer cabin in Nova Scotia, Catherine is thrilled. Finally she'll have the kind of relationship with her father that other girls at school have with theirs.
But the bright summer quickly darkens. Harry drinks-a lot. The more Catherine witnesses his drinking, the more she begins to hate him. Only, Catherine can't help but love him too. A travel writer with a poet's tongue, Harry is clever and exciting, and tells wonderful stories-until he drinks again, and the playful father that takes her on picnics becomes someone dark and frightening.
How can the man she grew up wishing to be close to seem so far away? And how can Catherine bring him back to her?
A School Library Journal Best Book of the Year, The Moonlight Man is a lyrical and emotional account of love, acceptance, and the difficult lessons of growing up.
In her novels for young readers, Fox fearlessly tackles difficult topics such as death, race, and illness. She has received many distinguished literary awards including a Newbery Medal for The Slave Dancer (1974), a National Book Award for A Place Apart (1983), and a Newbery Honor for One-Eyed Cat (1984). Worldwide recognition for Fox's contribution to literature for children came with the presentation of the Hans Christian Andersen Award in 1978.
Fox's novels for adults have also been highly praised. Her 2002 memoir, Borrowed Finery, received the PEN/Martha Albrand Award for the Art of the Memoir, and in 2013 the Paris Review presented her with the Hadada Award, honoring her contribution to literature and the writing community. In 2011, Fox was inducted into the New York State Writers Hall of Fame.
Fox passed away in 2017 at the age of ninety-three.

Booklist Editors’ Choice
School Library Journal Best Book of the Year
NCTE Teachers’ Choice Notable Children’s Trade Book
“Stunningly written.” —Kirkus Reviews
“There’s been little in young adult fiction with this kind of plain intensity. . . . Miss Fox writes with wit and candor about painful change and growth. Her language is exquisitely controlled, reaching for meaning in the patterns and pauses of ordinary conversation, often in words of one syllable.” —The New York Times Book Review
“A cause for celebration . . . Fox’s subtle use of language and unique storytelling gifts create a world so complete and so rich that the reader hates to leave it. At one point, Catherine reflects that her father ‘seemed about to lead her into a dance to music she had never heard.’ This story, too, is music as we only rarely hear it.” —Publishers Weekly
Praise for Paula Fox
“The greatest writer of her generation.” —Jonathan Franzen
“Fox has always been adept at writing apparently simple stories which on closer examination prove to explore the essential meaning of relationships . . . and to illuminate our understanding of the human condition.” —School Library Journal
“One of America’s most talented writers.” —Publishers Weekly
