Donna joins the school paper. It seems strange to me that having a school election was a new idea. I'm so use to it being normal. Donna does a great job at the paper. She is involved in mysterious things going on. Great fun.

In Donna Parker at Cherrydale, the first book in the seven-book Donna Parker series by Marcia Martin, Donna and her best friend Ricky take jobs as junior counselors at Camp Cherrydale, a summer camp for young children run by Dr. and Mrs. Duvall. As junior counselors, Donna and Ricky immerse themselves in camp life, enjoying meeting new people, getting to know their young charges, running activities, and soaking up the lovely surroundings of the camp. However, camp life is not all fun and games. Donna's senior counselor, Bunny, is acting very strangely; Dr. and Mrs. Duvall seem to be hiding something; Nancy, a young girl from Summerfield, Donna and Ricky's hometown, is causing problems at the camp; and, as if all of those issues weren't enough, a mysterious house in the nearby woods has Donna and Ricky intrigued.… (lisätietoja)

At bedtime Johnny and Janie are unexpectedly visited by Tom Corbett in his spaceship Polaris and are taken on a trip with him to the moon, a place they’d always wanted to visit. It’s an airless place of high mountains and deep craters where the sky is black and there’s no sound, because there’s no air to carry the sound. The gravity is so light that, “With every step they took, they jumped up into the air and came down like rubber balls.” Seeing the “big blue ball of Earth” the children long for home, to which Tom rapidly returns them.

Rereading this childhood treasure from 1953 in 2021 there are a few discrepancies from what is now known from lunar exploration since it was published. Vaughn’s color illustrations tint the moonscape with a yellow glow different from its actual gray and the Earth appears larger in the sky than it does from the lunar surface, and, alas, not quite as wonderous as it does in NASA’s color photos. Nevertheless, the book conveys a sense of wonder about space exploration to its young audience who would undoubtably overlook a copyeditor’s slip about air. Martin, the pen name of Marcia Lauter Obrasky Levin, teacher turned lawyer, author of beginning readers and math textbooks, and later creator of the Donna Parker girls’ mystery series, presents the children, “jumping up into the air” on the moon’s surface when just two pages before she explains that there was no air to jump in there.
