When Kids Take Over NASA

Just announced as a finalist in ForeWord Reviews' 2011 Book of the Year Awards, WHEN KIDS TAKE OVER NASA follows five bright students on what begins as a school assignment and turns into an all-out mission to get America back into space! Grant, Christina, Kendall, Tica, and Jeremy visit the Johnson Space Center only to find it mothballed and cocooned. When an ex-employee gives them a key, they enter the building and take control of the center! When some unexpected helpers show up, the kids discover a new kind of physics, NASA secrets, the possibility of a real rocket launch on their watch, and that one of them has gone missing in a true Houston, we have a problem! scenario. Are they in over their heads? Absolutely. Sound out-of-this-world? Just wait to read about what happens after the kids take charge! Written by award-winning author Carole Marsh, WHEN KIDS TAKE OVER NASA has been called lively, well-written and educational by Forrest Schultz of Southside Book Reviews, and Marsh has been praised for integrating real science and the history of the space program into a breathtaking and imaginative story.
