Gr 5–8—Students looking for a thorough introduction to NASA's space exploring robots won't be disappointed. Text heavy, each volume is chock-full of general and specific information, and while the small print may appear intimidating, the content is easily digestible and includes fun facts, such as how Pluto was no longer considered a planet by the time New Horizons reached it nine years after its launch. "Space First" and "Space Discovery" sidebars appear sporadically throughout each book and supply additional insightful information about the people involved with the missions and quirky details about the robots, including how the probe Curiosity has its own Twitter feed. While there seems to be more artists' renderings than actual photographs, the quality is top-notch and incredibly realistic. VERDICT Space enthusiasts will gravitate toward this stellar series for report writing and recreational reading.
