It's time to kick off another time-twisting adventure with Leah Williamson, captain of the Euro-wining Lionesses!
After suffering an injury on the football pitch, Leah is bored of resting at home. Her friends, Mimi and George, know that another adventure in time will cheer her up! Travelling back to 1950's America, the Wonder Team find themselves right in the middle of the Space Race.
When one of the lead mathematicians goes missing, Leah and her friends must use all their detective skills to find her and stop the rocket launch ending in disaster.
The Wonder Team and the Space Race is the fourth book in the bestselling series. Don't miss Leah and her friend's other adventures in The Wonder Team and the Forgotten Footballers and The Wonder Team and the Pharaoh's Fortune.
Leah Williamson is a 5th grader who recently published her first book, The Adventures of Tiger Person.
Her idea was born when she couldnt think of anything to write about during her writing workshop period in 2nd grade. After thinking of many topics and her love for cats she finally thought of an adventurous tiger that she named Tiger Person.
Who knew that she would love writing and illustrating her own stories about this character that goes on amazing adventures.
Leah has written dozens of stories about him, but has published only three short stories in one book for you to enjoy."
This edition of the Wonder Team is a fantastic adventure where our heroes deal delicately with the racial issues surrounding equality in 1950's America as well as young 'Leah' teaching the readers a lesson about patience and selflessness surrounding sports injuries.
This will absolutely be added to my classroom shelves due to its brilliant plot, themes of friendship and resilience!
