"Arkadaşlar, komşular!" diye bağırdı.
Hiçbir şey olmadı. Belki de sesi, kentin derinden gelen sürekli uğultusu içinde yitip gidiyordu. Belki de arkadaşlar ve komşular, tabak dolusu sosisten ya da boş televizyon konuşmaları yüzünden ağırlaşmış ya da yorucu bir günün ardından koltukların üstünde içleri geçmiş horluyorlardı. Belki de sesi, apartman blokunun dimdik duvarlarına çarpıp yansıyor, gökyüzünün bitimsiz karanlığı içinde boşuna sekerek yükseliyordu."
Ne kadar da naif bir kitap. Paul'ün sınıfsal farklılığı, hayalgücüne engel değil. Komşuluk ilişkilerinin eskisi gibi olmaması, bir daha canlanamayacaklar demek değil.
Ve Ay da, gökyüzündeki bir delik değil. Yoksa, öyle mi?

First things first: This is a children's tale.
It just drove me nuts my critical brain screaming "That's wrong. That's impossible. Why is this person behaving this way!?" But I digress. What is the story? One day a young boy decides he wants to touch the sky, really touch it. Alright. Along the way he meets a curious cast of characters who help him and with a little game he thinks the moon isn't a physical object but an empty space in the sky. A "Hole in the sky" as he puts it and he wants to touch it to see if his theory is correct. So him and the cast including his parents get the world's tallest ladder and Allow him freely to climb up to touch the moon because in this world the moon can fit inside the earth's atmosphere. There's some stuff that happens too. This book can be enjoyable if you really observe in a metaphorical sense. But its not, its reality, these events literally happened. Its pure fiction. Let's leave it at that.

A short tale but not very engaging. I think too much nonsense was put in the book and I feel the story would have been better as much simpler picture book.

I never abandon a book...but I just couldn't take this one any longer. The title and cover are intriguing but I can't see children sticking with this book and/or liking it. It has a very confusing plot line and the characters are annoying. There are just too many really great books sitting in my TBR pile to give this one any more of my precious reading time.
