Author Description

Daring and Dangerous: Space Explorers for grades 4-8 introduces young readers to the complex world of space exploration and the famous firsts, near misses, and disasters that have taken place. The fact- and photo-filled pages of this 32-page book offer readers an opportunity to learn what it takes to be a part of this daring and dangerous profession, from lift-off to landing. The Daring and Dangerous Stunt Performers series is an action-packed escape into some of the most daring and dangerous activities on - and beyond - the planet. With topics ranging from stunt performers to space explorers, each spread in these books stands alone so reluctant readers can flip through until something catches their attention. Each book also features glossary words (defined on the pages in which they appear) and a memory game that encourages readers' recall as they are asked to match images to what they've read
