Description
Kit’s family doesn’t do normal holidays – they live for BIG adventures. But this time, they’ve gone too far: they’re moving to the MOON.
Kit isn’t so sure. The Moon is just a big, dusty rock – no air, no food, and nothing to do. How will they survive? Where will they live? And HOW do they go to the toilet?
Join slightly-nervous Kit, her robopet, and her fearless family as they blast off into the unknown and discover just how to live successfully on the moon . . . wee hoovers and all!
Packed with real science and fascinating facts, it’s the perfect space adventure for budding astronauts and curious minds alike.
