Volume 7 of 54 of Jules Verne's "Extraordinary Voyages", first printed in 1870. The sequel to Jules Verne's “From The Earth To The Moon”, where an American expedition attempts to land on the surface of the moon. Helping to define the science-fiction genre, this classic adventure novel describes the expedition's pass to the dark side of the moon, their studies of the surface with opera glasses, and their attempts to return to Earth. This particular edition is reproduced from English-edition public works, and is presented simply with an emphasis on straightforward presentation, attractiveness and continuity of appearance, with each title in the "Extraordinary Voyages" sporting a journal-style brown cover accompanied by a cover illustration and quote from the text on the back cover.

Seventeen-year-old Mark Lender loves running track but has no track record with the ladies—that’s something he’s looking to change. He is shocked when the interest of two girls takes him from Mr. Backstage to Mr. Centerstage. Katy Mancer seems obsessed with him, but she’s oblivious to fashion—or reality, so her advances only give Mark’s bullies a bigger target. Then there’s Angel Hayden, a six-foot-one home run-hitting jock, who’s so popular she parties with college guys and is way too experienced for a guy like Mark who’s never made it to first base. He can either learn quickly or strikeout.
