Avoid being on Apollo 13!
'Avoid Being on Apollo 13!' is an ideal text for shared and guided reading for Key Stage 2 students within the framework of the National Literacy Strategy.
It tells the story of the American astronauts who set out on the voyage of a lifetime in 1970 to land on the moon. After months of practice, they blasted off from Earth to the cheers of bystanders, but things took a turn for the worse and they had to face up to the perils of space travel.
The cartoon-style illustrations and the narrative approach encourage readers to get emotionally involved with the characters and to follow the story from the safety of Earth and into outer space.
