Mert and Zekai Go to the Moon
The Curious Mert and Zekai series
Suits family reading and a stage adaptation
Mert and Zekai Go to the Moon
The second book in the series. Mert and Zekai’s “trip to the Moon” is not a real rocket launch. It is a hologram and space simulation that Zekai projects into the room through his eyes. It is about dreaming of science through curiosity and play.
Summary
Mert is curious about space. In the room, Zekai brings the Moon’s surface to life with a projection or simulation. Readers join the dream while the line between science fiction, play and learning stays soft. The story also suits a stage version: light and projection can transform a room, so no heavy set is needed.
