About the author
Angie Smibert
51 books94 followersI was born in Blacksburg, a once sleepy college town in the mountains of Southwest Virginia. I grew up thinking I wanted to be a veterinarian; organic chemistry had other ideas. But I always had stories in my head. Eventually, after a few degrees and few cool jobs—including a 10-year stint at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center—I wrote some of those stories down.
I'm the author of several young adult novels, including MEMENTO NORA, THE FORGETTING CURVE, and THE MEME PLAGUE. I’ve also published many short stories, for both adults and teens.
You can also catch me blogging as part of the LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY WRITERS (leaguewriters.blogspot.com).

Review of eBook
Part of the Tech Bytes series, “Reusable Rockets” takes middle grade readers from the days of Sputnik to the cutting edge of craft under development by private companies such as Space X and Blue Origin. With an accelerated reader level range of 6.0-6.9, the book is suitable for students in grades four through six who are interested in rockets and space exploration.
Divided into four chapters, the book introduces readers to the history of rockets, tells how rockets are making history, discusses the challenges of additional flights, and then looks at using reusable rockets today and what the future holds for them. Each section includes several “Did You Know?” mini-fact boxes relevant to the information presented in the section. Photographs, many full-page, supplement and support the information in each chapter. This science information book provides readers with relevant information presented in a straightforward manner that students will find easy to understand.
A short list of books and websites for additional reading is included following the text.
Recommended.
