Description
Up, Up, and Away is a collection of writing by fifth-grade students from Farnsworth Aerospace school, who spent months writing these original works with the help of the Mid-Continent Oceanographic Institute. From travel guides to alien planets to advice for chihuahuas on successfully piloting a hot air balloon, Up, Up, and Away, captures the unique and extravagant voices of the next generation of writers.
Inside, you will find suggestions and thoughts such as:
"Here is a tip: do not run out of gas and crash in the middle of the road. People often get upset about that kind of stuff"
—Amaya Vang
"I spotted a planet that no one had spotted. I should have left a flag there that said, 'I got it.'"
—Chrissy Little

Advance Praise
"Writers know that it is essential for their art that they never grow up, so you could say that what you're about to read are writers already at the peak of their powers"
