A Matter of Space

Take a smaller-than average child, put him in a space craft, let him pilot it into the stratopshere then, as a result, let him begin to travel from time to time, landing in Colonial Maryland. How often do you find a child's adventure story which is intriguing, educational and, best of all, scientifically and historically accurate? The author, Aleck Loker, is both a scientist and historian whose attention to detail makes the book believable. His skill as a writer also makes the story fun to read. Recommended for children of all ages.
