Quick Summary
A dad rescuing a discarded sat nav from the bin leads his unsuspecting family on the wildest road trip ever, straight to lunar territory where their car literally drives on the moon. Kids will giggle at the ridiculousness of following satellite navigation to space, the goofy family dynamics while dealing with alien terrain, and the satisfying twist that everything started with junk someone threw away. If your kid loves the wacky humor and fast-paced action of "The Bad Guys" or "Captain Underpants," they'll be hooked on this out-of-this-world accidental adventure. Ideal for kindergarten through third graders reading at a 2.5 level who want a quick, laugh-out-loud story that proves even a trash-picked gadget can launch an unforgettable journey.
