BUZZ ABOUT FINN'S ROCKET (SPOILERS)
"Delightful middle grade fiction about a brother and sister who have an incredible experience during Space Camp at Kennedy Space Center.
The story is well paced and full of twists and turns, a brave rescue in the rip current on Florida’s shores, glacial snow boarding in Sweden, and a very dangerous mission to the abandoned International Space Station where several space tourists meet a fateful end as their commercial rocket blows up.
I recall a course in children’s literature in grad school where my term project was to read all the Newberry and Caldecott award winning books from inception to the then current time. This book could be among them." --Review by Carol Anderson, author of Glad, Sad, Sorry
