"Lunar Boy is a queer, Indonesian-centric, science-fiction story with more than a passing allusion to The Little Prince. Indu was just a little kid when he was found on the moon. Now, after living with his mom in space for a while, it’s time to make a life on Earth. But Indu quickly learns that just living in this world can be painful, and he eventually has to figure out how to sort his life out before the moon decides it wants him back. You know a book is good when the fact that its hero was found wandering on the moon is the least interesting thing about him. This is a book with serious undercurrents about what it means to be LGBTQIA+ in a world full of so much pain. (For ages 8 to 12)"
