Roll up, roll up! Men discovered living on the Moon! Totally genuine and completely real discoveries of wild bat-men, unicorn goats and crystal palaces on the moon's surface.
So ran the wild headlines in 1835 - so let's learn about misinformation and moon-men, and investigate the greatest newspaper hoax of the nineteenth century, in this fun non-fiction story.

This book is from Readerful's Independent Library. It is for children aged 10 to 11 to read without support.

Readerful is a reading library specially designed to motivate children to read more. The series offers contemporary, inclusive books for children from 4 to 11 years, including:

Books for Sharing: picture books to be read aloud by an adult for inspiring reading sessions

Independent Library: fiction, graphic texts, character mini-series and non-fiction for children to read independently

Rise: fully decodable books for older struggling readers to read independently.

How Readerful works:
- Read aloud the Books for Sharing for magical reading sessions that motivate children to read more.
- Then encourage children to choose a book to read by themselves, from Readerful's Independent Library or from Rise. You'll find links between the books' topics, vocabulary, characters and authors - all designed to keep children reading, boost their vocabulary and develop their knowledge of the world around them.
