Bookroo's summary
When Will's balloon drifts to the moon, his brother Jake embarks on a daring rescue. As the youngest astronaut, Jake faces a bumpy launch and the vastness of space. Can he secure NASA's approval and his parents' blessing to save the day? Join Jake on an extraordinary journey where the stakes are high, and the adventure is out of this world. Will he bring the balloon back home, or will the moon keep its new treasure?
From the publisher
Up and away, off to the moon flies little Will’s red balloon. His big brother, Jake, volunteers to bring it home safely, but first he’ll need permission from NASA–and his parents–if he wants to join a space rescue mission. Being the youngest astronaut in history isn’t easy, though. The launch is bumpy, and outer space is very far from home. Jake will need to hold on tight if he’s ever going to reach the moon to save Will’s balloon. Big brothers and aspiring astronauts alike will love this story of a stray toy and one boy’s exciting journey to the moon.
