Max and Ely are best friends, but each night the moon edges closer to the day Ely must go to the hospital. Determined to stop time, the boys hatch a bold plan: they’ll build a rocket, fly to the moon, and keep it from moving.
Full of tenderness and imagination, this story explores grief, healing, and the ways memories stay with us. As Max learns, time will keep ticking and loss is inevitable—but love endures, certain as the moon that will always wax and wane.
