Description

When ten-year-old Byron "Boon" Barnett boards a rocket-ship for a move to the Moon with his family (and his irritating robot, Jose Ignacio), he's expecting the time of his life in the lunar colony of Cosmopolis.

Advance Praise

Foreword INDIES Finalist 2020
"A boy and his robot move to Earth’s moon in John Huddles’s wonderful Boon on the Moon. There’s a raw, childlike joyfulness to Boon’s story; his unabashed enthusiasm for discovery is infectious. Combining innocent wonder with hard science, Boon on the Moon is a terrific and memorable science fiction tale."
—Peter Dabbene, Foreword Reviews (starred)

“Huddles’ literary debut is a brisk, delightful story. The prose and action are fast-paced and often funny: A bus that swerves to avoid a crashing meteoroid contains passengers 'of the screaming variety.' This book launches a prospective series featuring Byron, and the time-jump ending is a clear setup for a sequel. Exemplary characters enliven a comical lunar romp." —Kirkus Reviews
