Mum’s late, and she’s never late. That’s how Evie and Jack know she must be very far away.

Mum’s late. And she’s NEVER late. She must be somewhere very far away. Maybe she’s in Egypt, says Jack. How about Antarctica? suggests Evie. Or what about… on the moon? Hopefully, she’ll be here soon… A delightful story in which two siblings turn a mountain into a molehill – or a maybe-missing mum into a moon trip. The ultra-expressive characters and art style create an immersive, exciting adventure – without even leaving the schoolyard.

• The ultra-expressive character and art-style creates an immersive, exciting world – without even leaving the schoolyard.
