(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Andrew Arnold. The Mercury Inn, owned by narrator Aidan's parents, boasts an ideal vantage point for launches from the John F. Kennedy Space Center. A blackout interrupts one countdown, and a large, glowing aircraft hovers above the motel. Tourists, the media, government agents, and UFO fanatics swarm the Mercury. Cartoon spot art with a retro space-age feel works well with the wacky characters and situations.
