(4) 4-6 This biography of the first American to orbit in space begins with a foreword by Glenn himself. The informative text can be wordy at times, and some sloppy photo placement makes for some bad line- and page breaks. But overall, there is enough worthwhile information (including many quotations by the subject) to make this a good resource for young astro-enthusiasts. Reading list, timeline, websites. Ind.
