Feature Friday is a series I’ll be running on Fridays. I have so many great books to tell you about, and they are piling up in my reading room. Unfortunately, there is not enough time in my day to share them all. I’ll share a quick video review of a few books, including children’s, middle-grade, young adult, and adult fiction and nonfiction, on both my blog and social media channels.
Clicking the photo of the books or items will take you to their Amazon listing. I may receive a small commission if you purchase through any of my links. Thanks to Margaret Quinlin Books and Peachtree Publishing for this gifted copy.

Middle Grade Non-Fiction
I’m so impressed by this thorough and informative book, which covers space travel from the past, present, and into our future. This book, specifically written for middle-grade readers, is jam-packed with photos, interviews, and the answers to the questions kids are wondering about. Get this one for your space-loving kid.
Cynthia Levinson, winner of the Robert F. Sibert Medal and many other accolades, is the author of numerous nonfiction books for young readers, including the highly praised Fault Lines in the Constitution, cowritten with her husband, constitutional scholar Sanford Levinson. A former teacher and educational policy consultant, Cynthia is drawn to topics in history, law, policy, and, especially, social justice. Who Owns the Moon? grew out of her curiosity about the laws governing our activities in space and concern for international cooperation and equity. Cynthia and her husband divide their time between Austin and Boston. Check out her website, HERE.
