One of two teenage winners of a trip to earth's first lunar base falls in love with an astral extraterrestrial who has been stranded on the moon for thousands of years and who needs his help to repair her spaceship so that she can return home.
reading (and re-reading) this book was always a thrill growing up, and I rather think it still would be even after all these years. The plot as I remember it has something to do with 2 kids from very different home backgrounds winning a contest that nets them a trip to a scientific compound on the moon. There they have some encounters with an alien who has been stranded there for a long, long time, all alone. Like most of Lawrence's books this has a certain darkness to it, but it was really moving, and not at all the typical kids-go-into-space-and-save-the-day sci-fi schlock.
