(3) 4-6 This epistolary novel vividly depicts the hope and spirit surrounding the first moon landing in 1969. Ten-year-old Mamie writes to Michael Collins, the astronaut who remains in orbit while Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walk on the moon. This theme resonates throughout the book as winsome, resourceful Mamie also "stay[s] with the ship" when her distracted family members temporarily abandon her at home.
