What to expect

Stranded and alone on the moon, Luna is running out of time … Bestselling author Chris Bradford crafts The Martian for teens in this gripping outer-space survival story.

Luna loves living on the moon. She enjoys helping her father – a Moon Miner – on his search for precious minerals and rocks.

But when a devastating meteor strike destroys their base, Luna is left stranded alone on the moon. With no shelter and few supplies, she must find a way to survive.

The problem is – any hope of rescue is at least 3 days and 400,000 kilometres away … and her oxygen is fast running out!
