AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A tender Australian story about searching for the impossible in the places where magic and science meet.

'For Carina Sugden, there is nothing more special than a moon tree - a tree grown from the seeds taken on the 1971 Apollo mission into space. Her father taught her everything she knows about them. But he passed away before they found one together.

'When Mum relocates the family to a small town in the Otway Ranges, Carina becomes determined to find a moon tree on her own. Like a scientist, she methodically searches the forest behind her new house. But after a mysterious encounter with a black cockatoo, Carina realises there's magic in this forest. And if magic really exists, anything is possible, like seeing her dad one last time...

'Meet Me at the Moon Tree is a heart-healing book about believing in magic, in science, and in the power of love.' (Publication summary)
