I Caught the Moon: A Moon, a Memory and a Girl Who wouldn't Give Up

I Caught the Moon

What if you tried to catch the moon... and accidentally broke the world instead?

Ten-year-old Bella has a big heart, a wild imagination, and a hole in her life the size of the moon ever since her mom passed away. One night, she does something unthinkable she builds a net from coat hangers and fishing line and tries to snatch the moon from the sky. It doesn't work (obviously)... but it does knock out a power line, summon the fire department, and make her an overnight viral sensation: Moon Girl.

Now stuck between internet fame and real-world shame, Bella must face bullies, broken friendships, and the truth she's been running from: she wasn't really trying to catch the moon, she just wanted her mom back.

Funny, raw, and tender, I Caught the Moon is a brave and bittersweet story about grief, going viral, growing up and the quiet light we carry even when we feel completely lost.

Perfect for readers aged 8-12 who love emotional stories with humor, heart, and a little bit of chaos.
