From Booklist
Gr. 4^-7. Offering children a rare look behind the scenes at NASA, this intriguing book tells the story of the space shuttle Endeavor's 1993 mission to repair the Hubble telescope. After explaining "Hubble's troubles" and scientists' plans to repair the telescope, the book introduces the astronauts and shows them at home with their families as well as at work, practicing every movement of their tasks and anticipating anything that could go wrong. Descriptions of the launch, the flight, and the successful completion of the mission are all the more effective because readers experience them partly from the astronauts' point of view. The exceptionally clear, full-color photographs, some from NASA and others taken by Margaret Miller, work seamlessly with the text to help readers envision people, places, equipment, and events. An excellent presentation of the mission to fix the space telescope. Carolyn Phelan
From School Library Journal
Grade 5-9?This book lives up to its title. The flight to fix the Hubble Space Telescope is viewed as an adventure rather than as a repair house call. The mission is described in exciting detail, from the years of preparation to the shuttle Endeavour's homecoming. The astronauts are portrayed as three-dimensional people, which helps readers identify with them. There are many full-color photographs throughout; those taken from the shuttle are breathtaking, showing closeups of the astronauts with the Earth featuring prominently in the background. This is an excellent addition for all libraries. It describes one of the most important space missions to date and effectively captures the participants' spirit, skill, and dedication.?Margaret M. Hagel, Norfolk Public Library System, VA
