I'm trying to recall the title of an old teen-market book (circa late 60's to early 70s) [View all]

I read it around the same time as Madeline L'Engels Wrinkle in Time, so early 70s? I suspect the book was written in the late 60s. It was probably 150-page paperback.

It takes place on a moon colony, and a boy (and I'm thinking also a girl) are travelling outside the colony when their rover falls into a crater or something and they end up being underground (in the moon). Down there they find fascinating caves, lots of luminosity to help see with, and much more than I recall.

Does that strike a chord with anyone?
