AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A verse novel set against the backdrop of 1969, when humans first landed on the moon and the Vietnam War was raging.

'Sharnie is trying to make sense of the confusing and changing times while also starting at a new school, dealing with her grandmother having health issues and coping with her wayward sister, Cas.

'Footprints on the Moon dextrously raises important and timely themes for its intended audience: friendship, family, death, grief, support, war, protesting, and conscription.' (Publication summary)
