(4) 1-3 Out of This World series. Ten-year-old Starr's family is selected to live on a space station where they'll host tourists who want a unique vacation experience. The first trip to the moon, however, doesn't quite go as planned. The tame stories focus more on everyday problems (sibling rivalry, jealousy), detracting from the more interesting space story line. Vibrant full-color illustrations enhance the text. Extension activities included. Glos. Review covers the following Out of This World titles: First Family in Space and Journey to the Moon.
