Reach for the Stars

Space

"Nerdy babies explore what makes the moon, the sun, and all the planets unique on a trip around our solar system."

Amelia Bedelia & friends blast off

"Amelia Bedelia and her friends learn about the solar system and their place in the universe."

Life As We Knew It

"Through journal entries sixteen-year-old Miranda describes her family's struggle to survive after a meteor hits the moon, causing worldwide tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions."

The big backyard : the solar system beyond Pluto

"The cold, dark world that lies at the farthest reaches of our solar system holds a vast collection of secrets. For the most of human history, we had no idea anything was out there. Utilizing photographs from NASA probes and telescopes, Miller takes us on a tour into the darkest corners of the solar system, to places beyond the limits of the human eye."

"An astonishing exploration of planet formation and the origins of life by one of the world's most innovative planetary geologists...Asphaug takes us on an exhilarating tour through the farthest reaches of time and our galaxy to find out why the two halves of our moon are so bewitchingly distinct."
