Paul believes that the moon is not the moon, but is a great hole in the sky.
Its one of many strange ideas that hes never told anyone (at school he was
told that he had no ideas at all), until he meets Molly, his irrepressible
neighbour, who begins to convince him that his theory might just change the
world. Helped by a very long ladder, some highly irregular characters, two
rather worried parents and a great deal of community spirit, Paul takes to the
sky. But his astonishing discovery there cant keep him away for long what is
waiting for him back at home is turning out to be better than hed ever
imagined.
