We Dream of Space by Erin Entrada Kelly
3.0

During the month leading up to the Challenger launch in 1986, three siblings are learning about the space program and launch process while also struggling with different things in their home lives. Bird dreams of being the first NASA's first shuttle commander, her twin brother Fitch loves going to the arcade, and their older brother Cash struggles with school and loves basketball.

I enjoyed this book for the historical aspect, especially from the point of view of average kids experiencing the lead up and unfortunate fall of the Challenger. A great middle grade read to help understand the space program and this event.
