History Comics: The Challenger Disaster is a graphic novel telling the events that led up to the explosion of the Challenger Shuttle as well as the investigation afterward. It did a good job of telling all the facts and added a personal touch with “interviews” of the members of the crew. I appreciated that the book handled the actual disaster with respect but didn’t sugar-coat anything, I also appreciated that the book was honest about the investigation into the disaster and the issues within the NASA organization. I didn’t really care for the futuristic school setting or the way the students were portrayed. It just felt a little staged. Overall, I think this is a good book for students interested in space history,

This book is told on the 400th anniversary of the Challenger explosion. A group of 5th graders living in Mars' orbit on a space station is doing a presentation for "Challenger Day". It is a bit information-heavy at the beginning, but gets better as it goes. I did actually learn a lot about the Challenger, its crew, the explosion, and the investigation. Good art. Good story.

Another wonderful addition to a series. Making these historical events accessible in a fun format is genius for this age level.

An interesting portrayal of the Challenger Disaster as described by children living in space 400 years after the disaster. 2 stars because it is unacceptable to say racism ended in the 1960s with the Civil Rights Movement.

This was a very informative book showing what happened before, during and after the Challenger disaster. The part that made this a bit weighed down was the fact that the information was presented by a group of kids living in the future. So, the story becomes muddled with the idea of these kids in the future with their own advances.
