A magical illustrated adventure about a very special unlikely friendship.

Charlie’s set to have the worst weekend ever. His parents have gone away to prepare for ‘the important thing’ he’s been dreading, so he’s stuck with his spiky grandma and her horrible porridge, a football tournament with the school bully and a terrifying visit to the dentist.

But then a piece of the moon falls into Charlie’s garden, and turns into a new friend. Suddenly, Charlie finds himself on adventures beyond his wildest imagination, where he learns that sometimes scary things can turn into wonderful surprises.

But when Charlie has to return to real life on earth, will he finally be ready to face the important thing?
