<strong>For fans of <em>The Witch Boy </em>and <em>Squished</em>, <em>Lunar Boy</em> is a must-have heartwarming coming-of-age graphic novel about a young boy from the moon who discovers a home in the most unlikely places, from debut twin creators Jes and Cin Wibowo. </strong><br/><br/>Indu, a boy from the moon, feels like he doesn't belong. He hasn't since he and his adoptive mom disembarked from their spaceship-their home-to live on Earth with their new blended family. The kids at school think he's weird, he has a crush on his pen pal who might not like him back, and his stepfamily doesn't seem to know what to do with him.

But as the promised day draws nearer, Indu finds friendship in unlikely places and discovers that home is more than where you come from.
