Daisy is lured to adventure by a 'rokitship' as she decides to go to the moon with a man named Mr. Z. They encounter many-eyed monsters, time travellers with TVs, her duplicate, a 'troobador,' her sister, and more delights and vexations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGeary places his expressive, clean-line black-and-white figures, each with distinct body language, in ornate frames to denote settings and narrative layers. There's verbal and physical comedy as characters (sometimes literally) bounce off each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGeary's rare artistic gift of being able to depict ornate period detail without sacrificing storytelling clarity or fun pairs perfectly with Klickstein's imaginative writing. Showcasing elements of Philip K. Dick, Douglas Adams, and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the book will delight readers as they discover Daisy's playful, madcap space adventures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47340713509100,"sku":"9798875000546","price":37.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/12588143488908.jpg?v=1772166595","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/daisy-goes-to-the-moon-by-mathew-klickstein-9798875000546","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
