An ideal launch pad for the next generation of space explorers-- Tim Peake
How to Build a Rocket is not just a book; it's a launchpad for curiosity, making science and teamwork a thrilling adventure! Fran Scott and Paul Boston have created the most delightfully illustrated adventure for aspiring engineers, scientists and explorers. This book will take you on an exhilarating journey through the challenges of real-life rocketry to launching your own, combined with fascinating insights into the real-world space industry. -- Dr Heidi Thiemann, Director of the Space Skills Alliance
How To Build A Rocket is a fabulous mix of real time science experiment, facts, careers advice and history. I love how the sections are broken down into chunks that you can dip in and out of, but also follow along to build your rocket. The science is engaging and easy to understand, links to the National Curriculum, but is fun and engaging in a way that I wish I had access to when I was at school! I really like how Fran has brought in the human stories into the book, so as you build your rocket (from easily accessible materials) you learn about the people behind the rockets and astronauts that make it into space. The language is accessible and diverse, and the illustrations are brilliant and fun! This is a keeper book, for children and adults alike! -- Dr Sheila Kanani MBE, Education Outreach and Diversity officer at the Royal Astronomical Society
