NASA asks thirteen-year-old Scott, son of an Air Force flight instructor, to man a pre-Apollo 11, top-secret spaceflight to the moon with a crew of chimponauts. Kerr makes the wouldn't-it-be-cool-to-be-an-astronaut dream a reality here, with a story that's entirely plausible yet thoroughly imaginative. He ups the boy appeal with authentic dialogue and plenty of heavy-duty astronaut info and jargon.
