It is 1968. Life is changing fast as the world prepares for the moon landings. When April's stepdad, Andy, is sent to prison April and her family are moved from the caravan in the valley she loves, to a village house. She'll miss Eli, but he has to get back to America and get a man on the moon. The family are not welcome in the village, except for the kindness of Reverend Fisher and his sister at the local church. Undeterred, April explores this new world, befriending The Toffee Man, a war veteran and a clock mender, who struggles to manage his garden. When Andy is released he uses her friendship with The Toffee Man to cover his latest crimes - with tragic consequences.
