First prize in the Skyway slogan contest is an all-expense-paid trip to the Moon. Anddd... He missed by *that* much. But Kip Russell, a high school senior, did manage to win the consolation prize of a spacesuit. He decided that one day he shall go to the Moon. He fully geared the suit with all the devices required, and called him Oscar. But the dream day comes way sooner than he thought, as he is "kidnapped" by an alien space-craft, boarded by an eccentric little girl nick-named PeeWee, her rag doll and a wobbly creature called the Mother Thing. And of course, Oscar.
The author, Robert A. Heinlein, is a well known, award-winning Sci-Fi author. But the book is AWE-FULLY boring. It was immensely boring, and had I dragged myself to the end. But, if you think that's 'cuz I'm a kid, consult my mom. Her situation was worse. :P
