Book Review: Moonshot: The Flight of Apollo 11 by Brian Floca

Moonshot: The Flight of Apollo 11
by Brian Floca (j 629.454 Flo)

This updated edition of the 2009 non-fiction picture book is suitable for low to middle grade readers but I enjoyed it as well, particularly for its attention to detail combined with a poetically flowing narrative. Thus, it could be appealing to anyone with an interest in the history of the moon missions. Bonus points are awarded for endpapers which give a graphic timeline of the stages of Apollo 11’s journey and a synopsis of how it was accomplished.
