This inspiring story is about a special education teacher/ football coach who gets his students into Space Camp, even though normally it is only for gifted and talented students. Kersjes presents his experience with honesty and humor. He shows great persistence and determination in preparing his students for this incredible adventure in getting to Space Camp. He believed in his students and taught them to believe in themselves, even when the world around them has belittled them for so long. I would give this book two thumbs up!
