I was interested in this book after my students and I read I Love You, Michael Collins. I, like them, had never really heard of him before, and living close to the Space Coast, I wanted to make sure they knew why he was important! This is a great biography to engage upper elementary students at an appropriate level for them, and I think my students will really enjoy this book! Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARC!

It is so difficult to find a biography that is appropriate for upper elementary students and engaging. The "Who Was" series is pretty much all I have been able to find. This book provides a great alternative to the "Who Was" books. I really enjoyed learning about Michael's life, and I know that my students will too!

I received an arc of this book on netgalley in exchange for a honest review.

Cool! I really like seeing books about Michael Collins, because so often the spotlight is on his more famous peers, like Neil Armstrong. This book is a little long- but for people interested in the space mission and how those people got to that point- this is well worth reading.

I never knew who Michael Collins was, because like they said -- it was all about Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, so this was a very informative read for me. The journey from West Point to pilot to astronaut was very interesting to read about. It was written very simply so it would be easily understood by young readers. I highly recommend this for young readers and people that have never heard of Michael Collins - what an inspiration!

Thank you NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
