Synopsis
In this second book of a brand new-chapter book series, aspiring astronaut Astrid designs a rocket!
After seeing the big Space-E rocket launch, Astrid just knows she's going to be exploring space in a rocket of her own someday! And in honor of the big launch, Astrid and her fellow Shooting Stars will be building rockets of their very own. What's more exciting is the guest helper, Luke, who actually worked on the Space-E team! The Shooting Stars are working towards more points on the Astro Board and Astrid is hoping she can impress Luke enough to score a tour of Space-E headquarters. But it turns out that Luke's design might not be the best--and Astrid isn't sure if she should speak up. Can Astrid use her voice to show there is more than one solution for a perfect take-off?"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
