Rocket Man: The Mercury Adventure of John Glenn

117 pp. | Peachtree | October, 2004 | Trade ISBN 1-56145-323-4 $12.95
(4) 4-6 Using sources such as Glenn's own memoir and the transcript from the Friendship 7 flight, this dramatized history chronicles Glenn's boyhood through his flight aboard the shuttle Discovery at age seventy-seven. In a dull design, the dutiful text is uninterrupted by art (except for a final ten-page illustrated section), making this fairly slow going. Reading list. Bib.
Reviewer: Connie ANn Kirk
