Reviews

"Faye Beerling and Gareth Bowler's books are fantastic for making education inspiring and fun for young ones! This is no exception, as they turn their attention to one of mankind's greatest stories: the Space Race. With all the protagonists - from Albert the monkey to Neil and Buzz - earning a mention, there are laughs and gasps all the way!" --Paul Hayton, Bookshop Manager, Waterstones
