Bookroo's summary

In 2057, Aurora's life is perfect—until her family moves to the Moon. Leaving behind her friends and a budding romance, she faces a stark lunar colony with only 750 people. Can she find a new sense of belonging in a world of water rationing and freeze-dried meals? As she navigates this alien environment, Aurora must confront the challenges of isolation and change. Will she adapt to her new home, or will the Moon prove too distant from the life she loves?

From the publisher

It’s the year 2057 and students take classes in ESP, people live in malls, there aren’t any parks left, and thanks to an airtight dome, there is a colony on the moon. Fourteen-year-old Aurora couldn’t be happier–she’s part of the “in” crowd, her best friend is a celebrity, and Matthew has asked her to Homecoming.But Aurora’s parents have new jobs on the moon, and she and her little sister must leave their friends and schools to go with them. Aurora is sure she will hate life on the moon, because there are only 750 people in the whole colony. What if none of them is a boy her age?
