Regards to the Man in the Moon

Viking, 1981

The other kids are making fun of Louie and calling his father “the junk man.” But his father tells Louie, it’s not just junk. “All a person needs is some imagination! And a little of that stuff can take you right out of this world!” So Louie builds a spaceship fueled entirely by imagination—and he and his friends can’t wait to blast off into an amazing adventure.
