Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
The Mission Possible Mystery at Space Center Houston
Carole Marsh · 2009
72/100
👍 Worth It
A solid entry in a classroom-tested series that earns its keep by weaving real NASA history and geography into fast-moving cliffhanger chapters. The formula is well-worn and characters stay thin, but the educational payload is genuine and kids who like this kind of adventure will race through it. A reliable pick for school libraries and third-grade classrooms.
