apollo 13 review

Apollo 13: Lost Moon

Apollo 13, by Jim lovell,

"Houston, we have a problem" the astronuts said as their space ship went out of control, when things looked the bleakest for them. They lost the moon.
Jim Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigart were a crew that were going to the moon on the Apollo mission 13.
But complications stopped that and their next goal was to get back to earth alive.

Its a true story and a good book.
( the movie is better)

have you ever wondered what happened after the attack on pearl Harbor? when the USA went to war and what effect it had on the USA?
this book is a wonderful history book that goes day by day in December of the events leading up to December 7 and to the end of the month.

its a really good history book.
