Meet eight-year-old Sophie, with untamable copper-colored hair, one luminous pale-green eye, the other a beautiful light ocean blue-a young girl easily recognizable anywhere, and her companion, Justice, a twenty-pound cat.

They live in an attic space filled with a wild kaleidoscope of color-Sophie's bold artwork papers the four walls along with the dozens of her grandmother's clocks, posters of national parks, sea animals, puppies and cats, and stacks of mystery books next to a cozy chair by a window.

But the windows are fastened shut, and the attic door is latched.

What reason could there be to lock this child away?

The moon floats high in the sky, and tick, tick, tick go the clocks. Has it come time to attempt an escape?

Hidden worlds await the two of them as they embark on a hero's journey to seek safety and solve the mystery of being locked away.

This is the first book in a middle-grade series and is sure to leave readers eager to find out what happens next. With unique characters and exciting plot twists, To the Moon and Back is a must-read for young readers who love adventure, suspense, and a good story.
