When Noah's best friend dies in a car accident, Noah feels lost. Lewis was a trans boy and so is Noah. They loved supernatural things and were especially fascinated by cryptids. Both were convinced that the Mothman lived in the nearby woods.
Making new friends is not easy for Noah. Diagnosed with autism, he has trouble reacting to people and understanding emotions. When Noah finally connects with a small group of girls, he finds that he enjoys sitting with them at lunch and even participates in a sleepover.
Noah confides in his new friends and informs them he is trying to find the Mothman. One of the girls seems interested and offers to help Noah with his science project about the creature. Noah has been writing letters to the Mothman and leaving them outside at night in hopes of meeting him. He is pretty sure the cryptid has been reading the letters and may have even responded with drawings several times.
Author Robin Gow uses verse and letters to tell Noah's tale. Readers will learn about patience, loss, and the courage it takes to carry on.
