The Dingilliad

The Dingilliad is a series of science fiction novels by American writer David Gerrold.

The latter refers to Dingillian, the surname of the family of main characters, and is a pun on the Iliad.

The books are often compared to Robert A. Heinlein's juvenile novels.

[2] The books in the series include: Jumping Off the Planet (2000), Bouncing Off the Moon (2001) and Leaping to the Stars (2002).

A fourth book, long mooted by the author, finally became 2020's Hella.
