Have Space Suit-will Travel

Have Space Suit—Will Travel is a science fiction novel by Robert A. Heinlein published in 1958. It has a strong comedic tone, even in comparison with Heinlein's other works. Kip, a bored high-school senior, enters an advertising-jingle contest, hoping to win an all expenses paid trip to the moon. He doesn't, but as a consolation prize he gets a used spacesuit. Resigned to making the best of a disappointing situation, he fixes it up and is walking around in it playing with the radio when a flying saucer lands, and he's captured by aliens and taken to the moon! Once there, he escapes with the aid of a fellow captive. However, they are recaptured and taken to the alien base on Pluto where their doom seems sure—until they are rescued by another, superior race of aliens, only to discover that much more than their own fates hang in the balance...
