Bloody moons. They never do what you want and this one is no different.
Happy New Year! Eminent astronomer Arthur Oldham has walked up to the bridge to watch the firework display over the seaside town below. But he’s a hundred years old and he has had enough of everything. He has seen it all before.
Then he sees something new. The Murkle Moon is high above the harbour, exactly where it shouldn’t be. The famous wandering Moon has wandered too far this time. Arthur knows he must return to his observatory at the school where he used to work to stop it happening again.
But instead of solving the puzzle of the Murkle Moon, he finds a friend, a family and realises that just like everyone else, he still has the rest of his life ahead of him.
