Books with title Tha man on the box

In 1969 The USA made history by landing the first Man on the Moon. The pictures broadcast back to earth from the initial Moon walk were received in a little country town, in New South Wales, Australia and were brought to the world from the CSIRO Parkes Radio Telescope. So it was the "Aussie Dish" that showed the world this historic event.Aimed at early readers it is an adaption of the song of the same name written by Billy and helps relive that unbelievable moment in science.Author Billy BridgeIllustrated by Leigh Brown

Pandora thought she had it hard. Lou regrets opening the box her gran left after she died. Not because it holds a spider as she thought, or toenails as she feared. Inside is a person, an impossible miniature man, and her life will never be the same. THE MAN IN THE BOX is a modern day YA fantasy full of magic, adventure and laughs. If you're looking for a fast paced story with a strong girl hero and a bit of paranormal romance, then you'll love this fun and exciting ride.
