AlbakiReads Editorial

A moon journey told directly to the reader

Faith McNulty frames a trip to the Moon as a series of steps the reader can imagine taking: packing supplies, experiencing liftoff, crossing space and landing at the Sea of Tranquility. The second-person narration makes the journey’s practical details part of the experience, including the stated need to plan for the return home. Astronomy is the subject, while the description also points to a connection between looking at the Moon and thinking about Earth. The book’s focus on the stages of a lunar journey gives young readers a concrete way into the topic.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in the Moon and space
  • Young readers who enjoy imagining themselves inside an adventure
  • Adults seeking an introductory astronomy book to share with children

Written in the second person, the text allows the reader to participate in every aspect of the journey, from packing ("don't forget your diary and plenty of food") to liftoff (at first you'll feel heavy; don't worry") to traveling thorugh space (where "the moon glows like a pearl in the black, black sky"). The reader lands at the Sea of Tranquility, the site of the first lunar landing
