Customer Reviews

Great story and great accurate information

I love this book (as does my 3 yr old son). Its the story of a 8 yr olds space shuttle trip to draw her "home" from a new perspective. I really like that it is a great story but also has completely accurate detailed information about a trip on the space shuttle -- it gives a great description of what blasting off might feel like. Any child fascinated by space will love this book.
