"From the farthest reaches of outer space to the deepest ocean on Earth and back again, Frank Viva takes readers on a round trip ride...Deceptively simple, this is one story a parent or child will want to return to again and again. " (The Horn Book).

* "This outstanding visual treat about the open road will inspire readers." - School Library Journal (starred review)

"This is one of those rare picture books that deserves a place not only on a child's bookshelf but in an art museum - and would be equally at home in both." - The Boston Globe

"Simultaneously stylish and restrained." - Publishers Weekly

"A terrific debut from Viva." - The New York Times

Embark on a two-way journey beyond your wildest dreams!
 
Start from one end of the book, and zoom away on an adventure that begins on a distance planet and takes you soaring downward, among aliens, spaceships and stars, down past the moon to plunge into the earth's mysterious deep. Or, start from the other end, and take off on a voyage that begins far underwater and take you zipping upward, past scuba divers, schools of fish, up beyond the cityscape to soar into the wondrous cosmos.

A Long Way Away is a surprising and marvelous flight of fancy from rising star Frank Viva.
