Stranded and alone on the moon, Luna is running out of time … Bestselling author Chris Bradford crafts The Martian for younger readers in this gripping outer-space survival story.

Lunar captivates readers with the tale of Luna, a young girl who loves living on the moon. She delights in helping her father, a Moon Miner, in his quest for precious minerals and rocks.

However, their lunar routine shatters when a devastating meteor strike destroys their base, leaving Luna stranded and alone. With limited supplies and no shelter, she faces a daunting challenge to find a way to survive.

The stakes couldn't be higher, as rescue is at least three days and 400,000 kilometres away, while her oxygen supply inexorably dwindles.

Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 7.
