Annotation:
This story recounts the first space shuttle landing and moon-walk, from the eyes of a young girl. She shares the experience with her whole family, and shares her dreams of one day being an astronaut with her grandfather.
Personal reaction:
At first, I did not like this book, as the poetic flow of it is not the style of book I am used to reading. As I continued, the book started to grow on me. I liked the way the author was able to bring to life the musings and dreams of a young child. The girl's thoughts and dreams seemed very real to me.
