My Review
This fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat space odyssey is a brilliant book for engaging reluctant readers - totally transporting, it takes us to the moon, where Luna and her father are part of a moon mining mission. A freak meteorite collision means Luna is left stranded when the base is evacuated.....can she find a way to make contact with earth before her time runs out? Chris Bradford has expertly crafted a story which will hook any reader while using the sparest of vocabulary and the shortest of sentences. He packs the story our with fascinating space science too, but the book never feels like a textbook because the plot is utterly absorbing! An excellent read-aloud, too, it's a great choice for any classroom!
Heads Up!
You might want to know in advance that Luna's mum has recently passed away.
