Star Wars meets Ridley Pearson's Kingdom Keepers in this high-stakes intergalactic adventure! The Moon Platoon is the first book in an action-packed series for tweens that's perfect for fans of Eoin Colfer and Lisa McMann.
In the year 2085, Benny Love is pretty used to surviving on what he and his family can scavenge on Earth. But when he wins a scholarship for a life-changing trip to visit the Lunar Taj, the first-ever resort on the Moon, Benny thinks he finally has a chance to give his family a better life.
Benny can't wait to fly his very own Space Runner, practice reverse bungee jumping, and explore craters on the dark side of the Moon. But he gets more than he expected when he and the other kids discover the Moon has secrets no one else knows about. Benny is a long way from home--and soon there might not be an Earth to go back to.
- Unlikely Friendship: Scavenger Benny Love and rich kid Drue Lincoln are stuck in the same Space Runner. They'll have to get along if they want to survive what's coming.
- High-Tech Adventure: Fly custom Space Runners, explore lunar craters, and practice zero-gravity sports at the most exclusive resort in the galaxy.
- A Dangerous Secret: The Lunar Taj isn't just a vacation spot. It's hiding a conspiracy that could doom the entire planet.
- Teamwork and Courage: When disaster strikes, Benny and the other scholarship winners must band together to uncover the truth and find a way to save their home.
