ARGONAUT BOOKS

An over-indulged little boy grows into a very wealthy man who has everything he could possibly want on Earth. There is only one thing left that he must have - the moon he coveted as a child. Plans are drawn, machines built and factories sent spluttering into the air. Giant towers grow up and up and up. Soon the moon is nearly within the man's grasp - but someone else wants it too. Their tug of war ends in disaster when the moon shatters into a thousand pieces. It is up to the children to come to the rescue.
