"Up in Space: An Adventure at the Space Needle" penned by the author Jeanne Bender is an interesting Children's book. The main character of the story is Lindie Lou. She met Max at an airport baggage claim and now they have arrived at the Emerald City. Lindie Lou has been living with Joe and Sherry till now. But now, she has new owners and a new home.
Lindie Lou finally met her new mommy Kate who found her cuter than her pictures. Will Lindie Lou meet Max? With white and gray buildings, Lindie Lou wonders why the city is known as Emerald City.
Read this book to find the answer yourself. The character of Lindie Lou is immediately likable. This book tempted me to go on an adventure, especially to Seattle. Kids will have a great time solving quick quizzes and reading the fun facts given at the end of the book. Go ahead with this book without any second thoughts. I strongly recommend this book for little ones.

January 7, 2022I read this to my grandson (age 5 at the time) and every time I got to the end of the chapter he said, "More, grandma, more!!! So we kept reading! Lindie Lou is an adorable character who experiences new adventures in each book. This one takes place in Seattle as Lindie Lou gets to know the city with her trusted friend Max, a husky she met in book 1, Flying High. Large fonts, color illustrations, a bridge chapter book for kids who are wanting to read something a little longer or a fabulous family or classroom read aloud. This series is my answer to little ones who want Harry Potter or Minecraft books and aren't quite ready for the subject matter.

Lindie Lou's adventures in Seattle were amazing! Her friend Max was her tour guide and showed her many things. One of my favorites was when they visited the Gum Wall - it was interesting and a little gross. Jeanne Bender does a great job of keeping the reader interested in what Lindie Lou will do next.

Read this with a student. She loved it, me not so much. Talking dogs aren't necessarily my thing, but loved the book because the 4th grader reading it was absolutely enthralled!
