Ticket to the Moon

What if the greatest field trip in history became humanity's greatest secret?

Twelve-year-old Jace Carter never imagined he would leave Earth. When he is selected as one of ten students from around the world to win Ticket to the Moon, it feels like every impossible dream has finally become possible. The winners will spend one unforgettable week living on the Moon, conducting real scientific experiments, exploring a state-of-the-art lunar colony, and inspiring millions of children back on Earth.

But the dream doesn't last. Communication with Earth suddenly goes silent. Food and oxygen begin to disappear.
Entire sections of the colony are locked without explanation. Then the students discover something that should not exist...
Children's drawings
Hidden classrooms.
Abandoned living quarters.
And a chilling message scrawled across a forgotten wall: THEY LEFT US HERE.
