A boy finds an airplane in his closet, flies to outer space, runs out of gas, and crash lands on the moon. There, he meets a Martian in a similar situation. They devise a rescue plan. The boy parachutes home for supplies and returns to the moon via a rope. Both spacecrafts are repaired, and the adventurers depart, wondering if they will meet again. Imaginative, comic mixed-media artwork extends this charming story of friendship . mjw
