Description

Meet Leland Melvin—football star, NASA astronaut, and professional dream chaser. Bill Nye the Science Guy says: “Leland’s story moves fast; once you get started you’ll want to sign up for the chase.”

In this inspiring memoir, adapted from the simultaneous version for adults, young readers will get to be told about Leland Melvin’s remarkable life story, from being drafted by the Detroit Lions to bravely orbiting our planet in the International Space Station to writing songs with will.i.am, working with Serena Williams, and starring in top-rated television shows like The Dog Whisperer, Top Chef, and Child Genius.

With do-it-yourself experiments at the back of the book and sixteen pages of striking full-color photographs, this is the very best book to inspire young readers.

When the former Detroit Lion’s football career used to be cut short by an injury, Leland didn’t waste time mourning his broken dream. Instead, he found a new one—something that used to be completely out of this world.

He joined NASA, braved an injury that nearly left him permanently deaf, and still managed to muster the courage and get to the bottom of to go back and forth to space on the commute Atlantis to help build the International Space Station. Leland’s problem-solving methods and can-do attitude turned his unimaginable-seeming dream into reality.

Leland’s story introduces readers to the fascinating creative and scientific challenges he had to handle in space and will encourage the next generation of can-do scientists to dare to follow their dreams.
