The whole world is going back to the Moon. Three kids already live there.
Alma draws everything she sees. Leo never goes anywhere without his stuffed dog, Comet. Noa is growing the first sunflower on the Moon. They are ordinary kids with one extraordinary address: Artemis Base Camp, the first human home on the lunar surface, near the Moon's South Pole.
Moon Kids: An Artemis Adventure turns real lunar science into a story kids race through. Across twelve short, funny chapters, Alma, Leo, and Noa chase Comet when he floats up to the cargo-bay ceiling, wait four long days for the Sun to return, send a message to Earth and count the seconds until it arrives, dodge a solar storm, and 3D print the part that fixes the base. It reads like recess, and one real science idea slips into every chapter, never a lecture.
Grounded in NASA's real Artemis program, the story explores low gravity, the two-week lunar night, moon dust, ancient ice buried in the dark craters, recycling every drop of water, and growing food in space, with three characters worth rooting for and four robots they cannot live without. The ending points where everyone is headed next: Mars.
What is inside:
- Twelve short chapters for newly independent readers, ages 6 to 10
- One real lunar science concept woven into every story, never a lecture
- A warm cast of three kids and four unforgettable robots
- Made for classrooms, homeschools, bedtime read-alouds, and future astronauts
A STEM chapter book for children who love space, rockets, and astronauts, and who ask why until the grown-ups run out of answers.
