This was a fun and exciting book and I enjoyed reading it.
It was a fast read, and the book is full of useful information. I especially
liked how the author explained the science of rocket making, rocket fuel, and
space travel. I would really recommend this book and it will appeal to children
in both elementary and junior high school.
