Firm friends for years, suddenly all this changes when Max discover to to his dismay that Milo and his family have sold their home and are moving to the city. To the boys this seems like another galaxy away, so how will they remain friends?

This is a lovely story, showing the strong bonds of friendship at an early age, as the two boys go on a journey of self-discovery through imagination, playing and how to realise that they were not that far away from each other. Not when they compared how far away Mars and Jupiter are. Max's grandma has the answer and soon the boys are sharing the night sky again on Sunday nights and they are back to talking about their night skies and the galaxies.

This is a lovely thoughtful book as a story book and also to show a way of dealing with separation.
