There are no refrigerators in space—think about it! Life on the International Space Station is well, another, way of life: you wake up in a sleeping bag tied to the wall; open a food package which keeps your meals from floating away, and then maybe go to work . . . walking in space! (And the toilet? That’s a story!) A lively reader about daily life on the ISS.
James Buckley Jr. has written more than fifty books for kids, including Who Was Ernest Shackleton? and Who Was Roberto Clemente? View titles by James Buckley, Jr.
