Why read it?
1 author picked Moonboy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This quirky book for middle grade readers took me back to my own memories of watching the moon landing on a crackly TV at school. I loved the way it shines a spotlight on the important role remote Australian tracking stations contributed to the success of the mission. The characters and realistic, sad and poignant interactions between a young boy and his grandfather are beautifully written. And what a great cover!
