| Publisher Description: It's 1969 and thirteenyear- old Scott is your typical teenage boy--except for the fact that he is flying airplanes with his air force flight instructor father. When Scott successfully crash-lands a plane, he grabs the attention of NASA, which recruits him for its top-secret test launch to the moon. Scott finds himself at the NASA training facility, where he realizes the chimps that will help pilot the craft are just as clever as the astronauts--and things are not what they seem at NASA. Full of nonstop action and adventure, this is the story of a courageous boy who follows his dreams. |
