An autobiographical account of Betsy Byar's summer with Moon - a big black snake - and how they get to know each other, during one summer on her front porch. One of the reasons Betsy Byars longed to grow up was so that she could have as many pets as she wanted, and top of the list came a pet snake. It took 40 years, but Betsy finally got her wish. One day she looked up from her porch and saw Moon coiled in an overhead beam. Betsy didn't try to catch Moon and put him in a cage and she didn't try to tame him. From fanged confrontations through long disappearances to a final shaky embrace, readers get to know the warm and funny award-winning author along the way. By the author of "Bingo Brown and the Language of Love", "Bingo Brown Gypsy Lover" and "Bingo Brown's Guide to Romance".
