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. 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 embark on a mission to get America back into space. 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!
