Summary
"An unlikely teenager risks all to expose the truth about a heralded moon landing. What if the football hadn't gone over the wall. On the other side of the wall there is a dark secret. And the devil. And the Moon Man. And the Motherland doesn't want anyone to know. But Standish Treadwell--who has different-colored eyes, who can't read, can't write, Standish Treadwell isn't bright--sees things differently than the rest of the "train-track thinkers." So when Standish and his only friend and neighbor, Hector, make their way to the other side of the wall, they see what the Motherland has been hiding. And it's big."--Dust jacket.
Standish Treadwell sees things differently from the rest of the kids. So when Standish and his only friend Hector go over a wall to retrieve a football, they see what the Motherland has been hiding. And it's big. The totalitarian government is intent on winning a propaganda-filled space race and will go to any length, including an elaborate hoax... and Standish and Hector know the truth....
