<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>NASA astronaut Scott Kelly was the first to spend an entire year in space! Discover his awe-inspiring journey in this fascinating picture book memoir (the perfect companion to his adult book <i>Endurance</i>) that takes readers from Scott's childhood as an average student to his record-breaking year among the stars.</b> <p/> Scott Kelly wasn't sure what he wanted to be when he grew up. He struggled in school and often got in trouble with his twin brother, Mark. <p/> Then one day Scott discovered a book about test pilots and astronauts that set him on a new path. <p/> His new focus led him to fly higher and higher, becoming first a pilot and then an astronaut, along with his brother--the first twin astronauts in history. But his greatest accomplishment of all was commanding the International Space Station and spending nearly a year in space, which set the record for the longest spaceflight by an American. <p/> This story of an ordinary boy who grew up to do extraordinary things is perfect for children, fans of Scott's adult book <i>Endurance: A Year in Space, A Lifetime of Discovery</i>, aspiring astronauts, and anyone who has ever tried to defy the odds.
