Description
When Vera is admitted to the Great Space Academy she is ecstatic! But out of all the children selected, there is only one other girl… Do only boys want to be astronauts?
At the Great Space Academy, where future astronauts are trained, there are very few girls. Vera is a brilliant girl and passes one test after another, but there are some boys in her class who think that girls shouldn’t be astronauts and they do everything they can to stop her. Will Vera succeed despite the obstacles?
After Martina the Soccer Star, Susanna Isern and Marta Moreno come together again to bring us Vera the Astronaut, another book that proves girls can be whatever they want to be.
