Gr. 4-6. In name, at least, the debuting series Space Adventures and Disasters speaks bluntly about the dangers that have lately muted space travel's thrills; even so, these two fascinating entries are likely to expand the ranks of aspiring astronauts. Not surprisingly, Apollo 11 is the more exciting of the two--a function, of course, of the inherent novelty and drama of the Eagle's now-aphoristic landing. Unusually thorough chapter notes support the content in both books where appropriate (moondust evidently smells "like gunpowder"), and a publisher-maintained Web portal is well stocked with links to relevant, prescreened sites. Both titles suffer from the cramped design template dictated by the MyReportLinks.com parent series--a Web browser-style border appears around every spread, and an awkwardly scaled-down screen grabs from Web site illustration. Both books, especially the unremittingly boosterish Space Station, might have devoted some time to the mounting controversy surrounding manned space flight. Nonetheless, these will serve as a solid launching pad for kids entertaining fantasies of shrugging off gravity's yoke. Jennifer Mattson
