This Newbery Honor Book, "spun with an eloquent simplicity" ("Booklist"), is a thought-provoking, contemporary classic. Ned fired just one shot from the forbidden gun, but when a one-eyed cat turns up in an elderly neighbor's yard, the boy is caught in a web of fear, guilt, and shame that infects every aspect of his life. 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. |
