Product Description

Product Description
Walter Speazlebud intends to visit the Moon. Not when he's grown up; not even with the next NASA mission. No, Walter intends to use his power of Noitanigami ('imagination' to those of you who sadly lack the ability to spell, talk and travel backwards). With the help of gutsy Annie Zuckers and gentle Levon, Walter is going to travel back in time to 1969 to prove that the Moon landing happened. So what if the Moon's surface looks like the Nevada desert? So what if Neil Armstrong botched his line (Shouldn't it have been 'one small step for a man, one giant leap for Mankind'?)? Walter's beloved grandfather said it happened, and even if he is getting confused in the head, Walter's grandfather must be right. Walter is going to prove it! And if Walter can master his gift of Noitanigami, perhaps then he will be able to take his grandfather back in time, too, and rid him of his Alzheimer's.

About the Author
David is a music supervisor for film, a songwriter, and a former music journalist and arts television producer. Like Walter Speazlebud, he speaks and writes backwards effortlessly - and has even been known to make people go backwards. He has a high profile in Ireland for this talent, thanks to appearances on TV and radio, and hugely popular amongst schools and libraries. He is often stopped in the street by people asking him to talk backwards. In March 2004 he won an Arts Council Award worth GBP 6,000 to become artist in residence for the 2004 Eigse Arts Festival in Carlow. His first book, a story for young children about Walter Speazlebud, published by O'Brien Press, was a bestseller in Ireland.

5.0 out of 5 stars My 8 year old son loved this!, 11 Sep 2006
By keith bohanna (Kilkenny, Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My 8 year old son has an extensive reading list - which is mostly confined to books that have been made into movies. So it was great to see him enjoy this book - it has the adventure elements necessary to capture the imagination!

[disclosure - Dave Donohue is a friend of mine. However if Abban had not enjoyed the book he would have stopped reading it - at the time it was in competition with one of the Series of Unfortunate Events books. And because it was an pre-publication copy it was printed out on A4 sheets - which was very clumsy to read. He finished it despite all that :-)]
