Would you like to move to the Moon and stay there for the rest of your life? Have you ever thought along these lines? Life on the Moon is hugely different than life on the Earth!

Title: Molly on the Moon

Author: Mary Robinette Kowal

Illustrator: Diana Mayo

Publisher: Roaring Brook Press

Molly, her mother, and her little brother, Luke, move to the Moon into a small underground home. Molly could bring only one toy because they had little space inside their home. Still, Molly finds other stuff to play with like tin cans, a solar panel, food crates, and a huge imagination.

Since the gravity on the Moon was much lower than that of Earth, all of them had to be very careful about using their belongings properly. Since Luke had brought just some blocks to play with, he took Molly's little lamb stuffy. However, Molly doesn't want to share her toys with Luke.

Eventually, Molly realizes the importance of being with a loved one and playing with her imagination, instead of having all the toys in the world!
