About this Audiobook: Adventures and mysteries unfold under a full moon.
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.
About the Author: Kate Holmgren writes children’s stories. To her, this is a bit of a wonder, for her father, a tough old bird of a cowboy, had long been known as the storyteller in the family.
But on the journey of motherhood, traveling down roads of blacktop or clay gumbo in an old green club-cab pickup with three very active little boys, she chanced upon her own storyteller’s heart. Her sons listened in wonder; Kate sensed the mantle of her father’s teller of tales coming to settle upon her own shoulders.
Kate’s stories continue to interweave humor, risk, faith, and courage. They ask questions about what it means to be a hero, a part of a family, and a friend. She is currently at work on a trilogy, A Hidden World, woven of travels filled with amazement all their own.
