About this audiobook
One summer, something happened that changed everything forever…
Born and brought up in an artists’ commune in Derbyshire, Oriana Taylor had freedom at her fingertips in a home full of extraordinary people.
The Bedwell brothers, Malachy and Jed, shared their childhood and adolescence with Oriana. In the rambling old house and tangled grounds, their dreams and desires could take wing unchecked.
But too much freedom comes at a price. Something happened the summer they were fifteen. And now, having been gone eighteen years, Oriana is back.
This is their story.

Reviews for The Way Back Home

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5When a young boy finds an airplane in his closet, he immediately sets out on an aerial adventure, getting as far as the moon before his plane runs out of fuel. Stuck on this celestial body, the boy encounters an alien who has also crash landed, and together the two lost spacefarers work out a way to get home...Following upon How to Catch a Star and Lost and Found, which set out the first two adventures of this young boy-protagonist, The Way Back Home follows him as he heads to outer space, carried there by an airplane, and author/artist Oliver Jeffers' seemingly boundless imagination. Although not my favorite, of Jeffers' creations - I prefer some of his later titles, like A Child of Books, or the most recent, Here We Are - I do like these sweet, simple stories about a young boy and the connections he makes with the world (and the cosmos) around him. The artwork is appealing, in that trademark Jeffers way, and the ending heartwarming. Recommended to fellow Jeffers fans, and to anyone looking for entertaining adventure stories for the picture-book set.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A boy flies his airplane into the sky and gets stuck on the moon. On the same night, an alien's spacecraft breaks down and he is also stuck on the moon. Together they work out a plan for getting back to their homes and while they are excited to get back, they are also unsure if they will ever get to see each other again.Cute story with very detailed pictures - they make the story as rich as it is. Could pair with Boy + Bot for a compare/contrast.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A little boy becomes stranded on the moon and a young martian helps him return home again. The Earthling returns the favor when the little Martian boy becomes stranded. Nice illustrations and a sweet story just right for preschoolers that teaches cooperation and working together.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great story about an adventure where a boy meets a martin and they both help eachother get back home. Very cute pictures! Perfect for storytime.
