Way Back Home

by Oliver Jeffers

September 6, 2007 | Hardcover

One day a boy finds an aeroplane in his cupboard. Up, up, up and away he flies, high into the sky. Whizzing past clouds, stars and planets until suddenly, he runs out of petrol!

Miles from earth, the boy crashes into the moon and waits. Just as he is beginning to get cold and lonely, a friendly martian appears from the darkness, also with a broken aircraft.

Together they come up with a super plan to float the boy back down to earth to collect his toolbox.

Can the boy find his way back home safely and will he ever make it back up to the moon to rescue his friend?

    Imagination Takes Flight!

    Louise Thibault-Gearey

    We (me & my 6 year old) are big Oliver Jeffers fans. His stories are simple, imaginative and humorous. His artwork matches the stories perfectly.

    In this one "the boy" just happens to find a plane in his closet and decides to take it "out for a go"! Where to? Why the moon of course. He runs into a little trouble up there, discovers someone else in trouble and together the new friends find their ways back home.

    I have most of Oliver Jeffers stories to children at the library where I volunteer and they never fail to capture their attention and their imaginations! Fantastic.

    This was my sons first Oliver Jeffers book and he adores it.
    I think boys will most relate to the story.
    Tells the story of how a litte boy meets a martian, and how they both help eachother out.
    Simple...great for those of us moms and dads who dont like to read long drawn out books.
