Reviews

[Wendy Leonard-Richardson · Rating 3 out of 5]

I debated on 3 or 4 stars. This book is fiction but based on the Apollo 13 flight. The basic info on the space flight is fairly accurate based on what I have previously read. The story of Ramon interacting with the astronauts is where the fiction comes in. Honesty it was a good story. I felt my kids believed it was true given how the story was presented which is why I rated it lower. I feel a disclaimer is needed.
