Summary

This is a story for boys...and for girls, too, of course, but mostly it's a story for grown-ups who can't remember—or can't forget—when a best friend was like a brother, a promise was forever, and the neighborhood where you lived was a world all your very own.

Tag along with 10-year-old Richie and his gang of neighborhood friends as he experiences the most joyous and heartbreaking months of his young life—a long season of love, loss, friendship and mystery, played out over the last great American summer of 1976. 

First Boy on the Moon is a loving, nostalgic memoir of childhood, the mythology of a boy, and a timeless legend of summer. Fireworks and fireflies, carnivals and cookouts, bicycle witches and bullies—a story to remind you that, of all the times of your life, there is none so brief or eternal as the summer days when you were young.
