Why read it?
1 author picked Moonboy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

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!
