Sometimes a book really makes you sit up. Mark Haddon did it with The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night (bwl 19). Now Sally Gardner does it with Maggot Moon. Living under a repressive regime is never comfortable; disagreement is dangerous. When Standish and Hector discover what is truly behind the much vaunted moon landing they put their lives in jeopardy. This is a brilliant book that you will love or hate - don't ignore it.
