Indu was a child who was discovered alone on the moon and adopted by their mother, a spaceship pilot. The moon warned them that if they left, they would be subject to pain and to change, but the promise of a family and love were worth it. As Indu grows they discover that they are unhappy with their assigned gender and gets to choose a new name. When his mother returns them to "New Earth" and they join her family, Indu has a hard time fitting in, not only because kids know him as Lunar Boy, he doesn't speak Indonesian well enough, he's behind in all his studies, and he's pretty sure most of the kids won't accept that he's trans. Even though he finds a community like him, his new brother and sister aren't very welcoming. Maybe the Moon will take him back.
A futuristic story about a new world that seems to have more acceptance for the LBGTQIA+ community. It's a sweet graphic novel about finding yourself and figuring out where you belong. Readers who loved The Witch Boy l will get a similar feeling from Lunar Boy.
