heartwarming coming-of-age graphic novel about a young boy from the moon who discovers a home
in the most unlikely places from debut twin creators Jes and Cin Wibowo. Indu a boy from the
moon feels like he doesn’t belong. He hasn’t since he and his adoptive mom disembarked from
their spaceship—their home—to live on New Earth with their new blended family. The kids at
school think he’s weird he has a crush on his pen pal who might not like him back and his
stepfamily doesn’t seem to know what to do with him. Worst of all Indu can’t even talk to his
mom about how he’s feeling because she’s so busy. In a moment of loneliness Indu calls out to
the moon begging them to take him back. And against all odds the moon hears him and agrees to
bring him home on the first day of the New Year. But as the promised day draws nearer Indu
finds friendship in unlikely places and discovers that home is more than where you come from.
And when the moon calls again Indu must decide: Is he willing to give up what he’s just found?
