Building Rockets - Book

Building Rockets by Rebecca Rowell is part of the Engineering Challenges series from Focus Readers, an imprint of North Star Editions. It explains the hurdles involved in getting a rocket off the ground and how engineers solve them, and an engineering activity lets readers test the ideas for themselves.

The publisher lists a reading level of grades 3 to 5 and an interest level of grades 4 to 7, which makes the series a good fit for older readers who want age-appropriate content at an accessible reading level. This 32-page paperback was published in 2017. The title is also available in a reinforced library binding for school and public libraries.
