When he decided to stowaway, Orphan Crandell Vroolak didn't intend to be the first teenager at the Moon's research colony, but now he's on a reluctant, life-changing adventure. Hired by Dr. Billy Jepler, NASA FarSpace Associate Administrator for Logistics—and con artist—who's brought goats, chickens, and plants to replace the unpalatable soy-and-seaweed-based Moon fare, Crandell must adjust to life on the moon. Struggling into spacesuits, taking a dangerous trek to the Moon mines, chafing at Moon Rules and food rationing, Crandell must survive moonquakes and deadly accidents as he wrestles with grief, trust issues, and questions about God. When sabotage nearly destroys the Moon Farm, Crandell learns important lessons about loss, teamwork and just what it takes to be a responsible and happy adult.
