Remember lying on the floor reading? I read science fiction and went to other worlds in my mind.
My first was The Wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet written by Eleanor Cameron in 1954.

It's set in Pacific Grove California & on Basidium, a tiny habitable moon of Earth, invisible from the planet in its orbit 50,000 miles away.

I need to get back to those worlds.
