Unfortunately, this book's ending was predictable and the attempts to insert future weirdness sometimes fell flat out of the author's need to insert wacky hijinks with new future inventions and/or developments, just because . . . "Well, it's THE FUTURE!!!" . . . but other than that, it was actually kind of an enjoyable read and I think I liked the concept more than the way it was handled. The main character has to move to the moon because her family is doing so, and like any moving story she hasThis book is set in the future, with main character Aurora. She fits in and is popular, and finally has the boyfriend of her dreams. She has all she ever wanted. Until her parent tell her that the family is moving to the moon for 5 years. Aurora doesn't believe it, and does not want it to happen at all. Her first impression of the people in the little town on the moon, is what her friends on earth would think of them. Everyone on the moon close to her age, would never be in her clique. After a

It seemed like just as soon as I would start to fit in my family moved. I am sure many adults can relate to the feeling of being up-rooted and moved as a child, but at the time you swear you are the only person who has ever felt that way. So...I read...a lot. At first it was to pass the time on long cross
Found this on my bookshelves when I wanted something light and fluffy to read.Boy, is this light and fluffy! In the future - 2057 to be precise - there is very little green space left, people live, work and shop in malls and the moon is finally being colonized. And this is where our heroine comes in. Once popular girl must move with her family to a small town on the moon. She learns that she is more than her friends gave her credit for and gets a cute boy to boot.Clearly, this book was something
This particular offering marks Danziger's foray into the world of sci fi, telling the tell of young Aurora, an aspiring high school actress whose parents have decided to move the family quite literally to the Moon. Aurora is devastated--she is part of the in-crowd at school, and has no intention of leaving Earth to go to the Moon. Her parents finally agree that she can come home after a year if she hates it. And so, Aurora, her sister, and her parents become space pioneers and Aurora must find
