Abstract
Robbie’s Adventures in Space is a story about a young boy, Robbie, who has dreams of being in space and landing on the moon. Dreams with details that are so vivid, tangible, and real that Robbie is unequivocally convinced that his dreams are in fact true. He has been to space, and he has been on the moon! While taking the reader on an exciting journey through space in Robbie’s spaceship, a predicament emerges in Robbie’s earth-based existence. While he is absolutely certain of the validity and authenticity of his extraterrestrial experiences, Robbie’s parents are obviously less convinced. Although his father is more encouraging of his imaginative renderings, his mother is noticeably more dismissive. Fearing that Robbie’s imagination is verging on delusion, his mother is concerned and more reluctant to encourage his musings.
