A Pocket for the Moon
Nine-year-old Nell trusts boxes. Boxes have corners, lids, and rules for what belongs inside. So when her family begins clearing her late grandfather Eli's crowded Providence house, Nell is determined to save every important thing before the house is sold.
Then she finds a folded moonbeam hidden in Eli's blue wool coat. Each night, the small light opens into a memory: a funny failed toaster repair, cocoa with coffee foam, a storm-dark basement. But the moonbeam is shrinking, and it grows dimmer whenever Nell hides it away or tries to make one perfect story of the grandfather she misses.
With the movers coming and her older brother Gabe asking difficult questions, Nell uncovers the year Eli left the family and the hurt nobody has named. To save what matters, she may have to open the box, share the memories, and let love be more complicated than keeping everything exactly the same.

The Coat Pocket
Nell liked boxes because boxes did not argue.
They had corners. They had bottoms. If you wrote KEEP on the lid in black marker, people were supposed to understand. A box did not say, "Maybe we should donate that," or "We cannot keep every cracked thing in this house," or "The movers come Sunday."
Grandfather Eli's attic did not understand any of that.
