[assignment: write a blurb]
When Amy moves in next door, Austin Grouper isn't impressed. Girls - yuck! Amy has red hair and freckles and doesn't believe that he can see through walls and door with his X-ray vision. But when Austin decides to lasso the moon as a present for Amy's birthday, he accidentally sets off on an adventure that leads him around the globe - past Mexico, through the arctic, and right back to Amy's yard. Using pen, ink and watercolour illustrations, award-winning illustrator Marie-Louise Gay has created two quirky and believable characters who just might find a "yuck" to agree on. An endearing story about a first crush.
