From School Library Journal:

Grade 4-8 The Cohens summarize the unforgettable events of January 28, 1986. A chapter on each of the astronauts on board briefly details their lives and how they arrived at that place and time. The remainder of the book reviews manned space flight to date, the reasons for the shuttle, manned versus unmanned flight, and the options for space flight after this tragedy. The authors write simply, sometimes colloquially, but factually and unemotionally, covering the facts as they are known to date. They frequently include direct quotations from people involved in space programs around the world. More profound accounts may follow, but for now here are the facts of the tragedy with its actors placed in the context of the ongoing space program. Sylvia S. Marantz, Wellington School, Columbus
