Customer Reviews

An eerie and enthralling book...

reading (and re-reading) this book was always a thrill growing up, and I rather think it still would be even after all these years. The plot as I remember it has something to do with 2 kids from very different home backgrounds winning a contest that nets them a trip to a scientific compound on the moon. There they have some encounters with an alien who has been stranded there for a long, long time, all alone. Like most of Lawrence's books this has a certain darkness to it, but it was really moving, and not at all the typical kids-go-into-space-and-save-the-day sci-fi schlock.
