I had the first book on my tbr for a while and getting this one early finally got me to read it before reading this one. While I enjoyed the message, representation, and art style, I find myself not being able to look beyond the fact that they are sending children to space on dangerous missions in these graphic novels. I know, I know! Suspend my disbelief! But I just cannot with these books for some reason and that kept dragging me out of the story. These books are fun with valuable lessons, so I do think they deserve a spot on shelves in libraries of all kinds (including the classroom and home varieties). Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing me with this ARC.
This is a wonderful book. I loved the use of technical vocabulary that encourages children to learn and explore new concepts, and the illustrations are delightful, with great attention to detail and a pleasing color palette.
Most importantly, the message—or rather, the multiple messages—woven into this little book are truly heartwarming. I enjoyed it very much, and I know my space-obsessed child will love it too when it’s released.

Thank you First Second and NetGalley for the advanced electronic review copy of this book. This is a follow up to the Space Chasers series and it’s just as good as the first one was. Here, the adventure continues as the young astronauts explore and assist on the moon. This book focuses a lot on Steven as he ends up saving the day and the crew’s safe return home. I definitely recommend it and am looking forward to sharing it with my students while hoping for yet another volume.
