Description
In 1986, as the country waits with anticipation for the launch of the space shuttle Challenger, three siblings struggle with their own personal anxieties. Cash, Fitch, and Bird Nelson Thomas are each navigating their own challenges - Cash, who loves basketball but has a newly broken wrist, is in danger of failing seventh grade; Fitch wrestles with an explosive temper that he doesn't understand; and Bird dreams of being NASA's first female shuttle commander, but feels like she's disappearing. Their lives are further complicated by the tensions within their household, where little in common except for a science teacher named Ms. Salonga exist. When Ms. Salonga assigns her students a project - they are separated into spacecraft crews and must create and complete a mission - the Nelson Thomas children see an opportunity to work together and explore their individual passions. As the launch of the Challenger approaches, this pitch-perfect middle grade novel about family, friendship, science, and exploration will resonate with anyone interested in these themes.
