A really welcoming book, written in a really accessible way that made it easy for me to understand a lot of complex ideas about the moon. Aderin-Pocock puts so much life and enthusiasm into the book, that I'll definitely be paying more attention to our moon each night.

it was just average. it is definitely not bad, but also not that good. i liked the buildup and the layout and the way the facts were brought to the reader, but if you're looking for an easy book about the moon, this would not be my first recommendation.

autumn_falling's review against another edition
The further into the book I read, the more this felt like a covert attempt to convince readers that moon/space colonization is exciting, necessary, & inevitable. The moral considerations for colonizing space were rarely explored and no real credence was given to those important issues. The author didn’t make a connections between the egregious harms of colonization on earth and how we are bringing that same mentality and approach to space.
I found a lot of this book less engaging than I expected, with lots of lists of rounded up nuggets of info. I had to force myself to keep reading for most of the book.
My favorite part was the author’s voice which was often funny, and the personal anecdotes she shared about her childhood.

This was a book I’ve been meaning to read for a year, and I’m glad I did! I’ve always felt inspired by the moon and this book helped me understand why. I wish I’d had this as a companion in Astronomy 101!
