Finding an early chapter book with an engaging story and without mature or scary themes can be difficult. But David Horn has done it, with his relatable and entertaining book, Eudora Space Kid: The Great Engine Room Takeover. If you have a budding astronaut or sci-fi loving kid, they will enjoy reading about the antics of Eudora Jenkins. This humorous story is told in the authentic female voice of a 3rd grader who dreams of being the chief engineer of an AstroLiner spacecraft. However, she just might need to break a few rules to get there. Eudora’s interest in a STEM career field and her skills in math and science make her an inspiring role model. With easily digestible chapters, and pleasing illustrations young readers will be engaged throughout the story. This book also celebrates differences. Many of the characters are a different species from their friends and families. This teaches the reader that accepting each other’s differences is a rule that should never be broken! Giveaway
