Moon Base One
by Hugh WaltersIn Operation Columbus a landing was made on the Moon. But the mystery of those sinister domes that had suddenly appeared there - and of the evil grey mist that gathered so unaccountably now and then - was as far from a solution as ever. There was only one possible course of action: to establish a permanent base. And once that was decided there wasn't much doubt that young Chris Godfrey would be sent to man it. But this time he isn't alone in his rocket. His old friends Serge and Norrey are with hi,' and he's got a new friend - young Tony whose very life may depend on the expedition's success. In charge of the whole fantastic project is Sir Leo Frayling, cold-blooded and ruthless as ever; and, of course, Sir George Benson and Whiskers Greatrex play their part too.
Moon Bear
by Gill Lewis Alessandro GottardoBoth torn from their homes in Laos, a boy and a moon bear cub form a deep bond in this piercing tale of impossible odds and resilient hope, based on true conditions in Eastern Asia.Twelve-year-old Tam, on a dare, ventures into a moon bear den in the mountains of Northern Laos. His goal is to steal the cub and sell it, making a fortune for his family. But the mother bear's unexpected return upends Tam's plan, and he barely escapes with his life. And then his life implodes anyway: his entire mountain village is forced to relocate to make room for a new highway. Lured by the promise of electricity, running water, and a television, Tam's people move to an overcrowded village, where Tam's father is killed by a stray landmine. Now the family breadwinner, Tam is forced to work hundreds of miles away in the city, at a moon bear farm where bile from bear gall bladders is used for medicine. It is a cruel, miserable place, and when a familiar face--the very cub he'd seen in the den--is sold to the bear farm, Tam knows he must save this moon bear, no matter what it takes. He secretly nurses it back to health and they develop an unbreakable bond. Tam swears to return his beloved cub to the wild, but how will they ever find a way to be free? Deeply and powerfully moving, Moon Bear is an unforgettable story of compassion, hope, and bravery against overwhelming odds, and brings to light the real-life, heartwrenching plight of Asia's endangered moon bears.

Moon Dancer
by Margaret I. RostkowskiSoon moonlight washed over everything. The houses and rocks around us and the cliff above sprang into detail in the bone white light. I hugged my knees and watched, leaning against Max, and without making a big deal about it, he put his arm around me. Then he stood up and pulled me up, too, then climbed down from the rock, signaling for me to follow. Once on the ground, he put both arms around my waist and waited until I reached up to put my arms on his shoulders. Then we began to dance, there in the moonlight, there with each other. We didn't say another word, just danced, held hands, and finally, slowly, carefully, kissed . . . then kissed again. I felt shot with silver, from the moon, from the dance, from Max.
