I Love You, Michael Collins by Lauren Baratz-Logsted
4.0
I have to admit that I don't know if my son would like this book, "I Love You Michael Collins" but I am fairly sure a couple daughters of a friend would. Mamie is a young lady who knows her own mind. She isn't the most popular child in school because of it, but she and her best friend are indeed the best of buds. Set in the 1969 when the first planned landing on the moon is in the works. Her school class is given an assignment, write to one of the astronauts. Mamie chose "the forgotten astronaut" Michael Collins.
This book is her series of letters to him, talking to him about her life and asking him questions. It is written in conversational tone, you could just see a 10 year old lass writing like this. :)
Part of the conversation in this book is how to handle a fractured family, teen angst, selfish of a variety of people, and how family matters.
Published by Farrar Straus & Giroux, 204 pages long, written by Lauren Baratz Logsted, it's a wonderful piece of history. Walking us through the divergent opinions of putting a man on the moon, how families interacted, and wonder of astronauts in space for middle school students.. I thoroughly enjoyed this read. Geared to youth 9-12 years old.
