My Review
An edge-of-your-seat yet simply told retelling by the brilliant David Long. Black and white illustrations and pacy narrative make this a fabulous choice for child who are dyslexic or reluctant readers - as with all Barrington Stoke books - but it's a fascinating read for any child!
Heads Up!
David Long has written loads of brilliant illustrated picture/chapter book true-life adventures - too many to list here but seek them out! They are great for reluctant readers and adventure seekers!
Publisher Review
April 1970: Apollo 13 was launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It should have been the third manned Apollo mission to land on the moon. But when an explosion on board damaged the spacecraft, it became a perilous and near-impossible fight for survival. The crew on board travelled further into space than any other humans before them ... In this gripping retelling of the astonishing Apollo 13 mission, David Long shows how courage, determination and teamwork succeeded in beating all odds to bring the spacecraft home. Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant or dyslexic readers aged 8+
