Featured: Apollo Dreams
It’s 1970, Apollo 13 has a problem, but nine-year-old Billy McBride has problems of his own. Armed with a runaway imagination and a starship that doubles as a clothes dryer, he discovers that real courage begins close to home.
“Gilmore’s pop culture savvy illuminates for younger audiences the start of one of America’s most turbulent decades . . . emotionally gratifying. Not just an engaging coming-of-age adventure, but also a lovingly rendered period piece.”
— Kirkus Reviews
