Astrotwins: Project Blastoff

(4) 4-6 With Martha Freeman. Based on the childhood antics of NASA astronauts and twins Mark and Scott Kelly, this novel recounts a fictional summertime project. The brothers and their friends set out to build a rocket to orbit Earth--and they succeed. The premise strains credulity and scientific facts are awkwardly inserted into dialogue, but the adventure is well paced. Hardcore astronautics fans will enjoy this series-starter. Reading list. Glos.
