A gripping survival adventure set in space, perfect for emerging readers.

Luna loves life on the moon, especially helping her dad search for valuable minerals as a Moon Miner. But when a sudden meteor strike destroys their base, Luna is left completely alone — no shelter, few supplies, and oxygen rapidly depleting.

With help three days and 400,000 kilometers away, Luna must summon all her courage and ingenuity to survive the ultimate test.

Lunar delivers high-stakes tension and sci-fi adventure in a short, accessible format ideal for reluctant or developing readers.
