Teenage sleuth Jason Caldwell’s adventures continue in Space, a mystery set in Huntsville, Alabama, home of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center.
When Jason accompanies his dad on their annual astronomy retreat, Jason thinks spending time with his obnoxious friend Stephen will be bad enough. But soon Jason is recruited to help determine which of a group of gathered scientists killed Stephen’s father, and he finds himself stalked by the enigmatic Man in a Red Flannel Shirt. Jason will need all his wits to escape when it turns out that someone in the group is more than they appear.
Author Roger Reid’s sequel to the acclaimed 2006 young adult novel Longleaf combines real-life locations and scientific fact with an engaging, multi-layered whodunit. |
Reviews
“Another Roger Reid winner for young mystery lovers. Space is packed with fascinating science, action, compelling story questions, and an ending that rockets off the page.”
—Graham Salisbury, author of Under the Blood-Red Sun
“Exciting, suspenseful, and informative, Roger Reid’s Space will put his readers in orbit—and in a good way!”
—Rodman Philbrick, author of Freak the Mighty
“The science and mystery in Space create an atmosphere to ‘think outside the box.’ Jason’s humor, ways of dealing with an obnoxious friend, and thoughts on the ‘Final Frontier’ will captivate readers long after the book ends.”
