<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Stranded on the moon after his extraordinary airplane takes him into outer space, a boy meets a marooned young Martian with a broken spacecraft, and the two new friends work together to return to their respective homes.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From the illustrator of the #1 smash hit <i>The Day the Crayons Quit</i> comes an imaginative tale of friendship in a world where what makes us different isn't nearly as important as what makes us the same.</b> <p/>When a boy discovers a single-propeller airplane in his closet, he does what any young adventurer would do: He flies it into outer space! Millions of miles from Earth, the plane begins to sputter and quake, its fuel tank on empty. The boy executes a daring landing on the moon . . . but there's no telling what kind of slimy, slithering, tentacled, fangtoothed monsters lurk in the darkness! (Plus, it's dark and lonely out there.) Coincidentally, engine trouble has stranded a young Martian on the other side of the moon, and he's just as frightened and alone. Martian, Earthling--it's all the same when you're in need of a friend.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b> <b>Oliver Jeffers </b></b>(www.oliverjeffersworld.com) makes art and tells stories.
