 Walden Pond Press, 2008313 pages Ages 8-12 years Mom, Dad-if you’re listening-you know I said I was going to the South Lakeland Outdoor Activity Center with the school? To be completely honest, I’m not exactly in the Lake District. To be completely honest, I’m sort of in space. Finding out where you fit in the universe can be troubling enough when you are 13, let alone when you are an unusually tall 13-year-old with facial hair and an uncanny ability to pass yourself off as an adult, usually without even trying. Now add to that the truly cosmic experience of wandering around and around the moon and passing in and out of the Earth’s shadow as you pretend to be “daddy” to a group of lost teenagers, and you’ll soon realize that finding your place in the universe means quite a bit more than, “Where do I sit at lunchtime?” In a race against time, life, and everything he values most on the Earth, Liam must decide what course of action to take in order to get everyone back home safe and sound. After all, they are his responsibility. This book is both humorous and touching. Other Books You Might Enjoy:
