This mystery for ages 9 to 12 began when I was researching Chinese myths about the ten sun ravens. Every source mentioned that the sun ravens had twelve counterparts, sister rabbits associated with the moon. Yet when I went looking for the stories about the moon rabbits, there were none to be found.

I decided that this had to be fixed. The moon daughters deserve a good story. So here it is: The Moon Rabbits.


When twelve elusive Moon Rabbits go missing, the Detectives set out in search of a lost tale from ancient China. Their search takes them to one of the oldest libraries and from there into the Celestial Heavens. Good thing they have their Moon Lanterns, because the White Road is long, cold and dark.

Our activities this week include Moon Lanterns and hand-sewn Moon Rabbits.
