Earth to Moon

A creative, honest and funny account of an LA childhood growing up as the first daughter in the wildly unconventional and dysfunctional Zappa family

A ROUGH TRADE BOOK OF THE YEAR 'Jaw-dropping [and] intensely evocative' SUNDAY TIMES 'Moon is a sublime writer who dips her pen in Nora Ephron's ink' OBSERVER 'Gripping, hilarious and often mesmerising' ADELLE STRIPE

For Moon Unit Zappa, daughter of musician Frank Zappa and his 'manager', Gail, life has always been utterly extraordinary.

Born into music royalty in 1967, Moon was a child star by age 14. But what are the consequences of growing up famous, in front of the camera and on stage, in a family who spend most of their time naked, practising white magic in a free-for-all state of nonconformist, hippy abandon?

Earth to Moon is a darkly funny, unflinching exploration of celebrity culture, family relationships and the ghosts of the past: a powerful takedown of the rose-tinted popular myth of the 70s and 80s West Coast scene, from within the belly of the beast of the rock and roll world.
