"Sensational book for students. This book includes facts with fantasy while using imagination, science, excitement, and detailed knowledge of the universe. Illustrations relate enough details to inspire learning. Sensational book to be included in classrooms and libraries, and at home, if the child is fortunate enough to own a copy. Students will love taking this exciting journey throughout the universe." - ITEEA "This book is a great combination of fiction and nonfiction. The fiction story is about two friends who get stuck on a spaceship headed to Mars. As you read the fiction story, each page includes facts about spaceships and space. The two kids have to solve some problems as the story progresses. This would be a great book to discuss problem and solution as well as rising and falling action. After the story is over, there are many pages of different diagrams and factual information about space and becoming an astronaut. There is a wealth of information in this book. It would be a great book to read to your class, or have your class read, while studying about outer space and space travel." - Duval Charter School "A very interesting concept indeed! The book starts off with a fictional story with two friends, named Luke and Maya, who end up on a rocket ship to Mars. The story is engaging and fun and will definitely hold the interest of children. The other half of the book is filled with facts about space and space exploration, from the solar system to astrology- even how to become an astronaut. It’s like a space loving kid’s dream come true. The thing I liked most about the book were the illustrations. They’re so beautiful and well done. I could just look at the pictures all day. I really liked this book and would definitely recommend it for children who are interested in space and space exploration, or who simply want to gain some knowledge about space!" - Vroman’s Bookstore "The illustrations are the BEST part of the book. I love the trip they go on. For kids interested in space and facts, the ending will light up their world. A beautiful way to integrate fiction and non-fiction for kids. It was a great way to get them interested in facts by using dramatic imagination and play." - Timbre Studio
