#21 - This Place Has No Atmosphere

This fabulous futuristic book by Paula Danziger was a favorite of mine in middle school, so I decided to give it a re-read.  It is a great story of a girl who just happens to move to a colony on the MOON!  Just like any teenager, Arora doesn't want to leave her friends and her boyfriend and move with her family to be pioneers in the first colony on the moon.  Once she gets there she has a hard time adjusting, but soon finds that it isn't so bad.  What makes her change her mind?  Is it the possibility of love on the moon?  Read it and find out!

This book appealed to me as a middle school girl, and I think will still appeal to today's middle schoolers.  I would say it is suited for grades 4 - 8.  Give it a try!
