Section: Youth High Frontier Fiction“Thea Stilton and the Star Castaways”Ken Murphy / 4:30 pm May 30th, 2011 Atlantyca, SpA Librarian’s Note: The English language edition of the copy I picked up in France last year is finally out. I like the French title, “Destination the Stars” better than “Star Castaways”. So fresh it’s not yet up at the publisher’s website. “iSpace Out” (DVD)Ken Murphy / 12:21 am March 18th, 2011 Nickelodeon “Twin Spica, Vol. 6″Ken Murphy / 11:30 pm March 1st, 2011 Kou Yaginuma “Zac Power Test Drive: Zac’s Space Race”Ken Murphy / 1:59 am February 28th, 2011  Larry, H.I. “Zac Power Test Drive: Zac’s Rocket Launch”Ken Murphy / 1:54 am February 28th, 2011  Larry, H.I. “Aussie Nibbles: Blast Off”Ken Murphy / 6:56 pm February 23rd, 2011  Clark, Margaret. Illus. by Tom Jellett “Twin Spica” Vol. 5Ken Murphy / 2:11 am February 6th, 2011 Kou Yaginuma “Twin Spica, Vol. 4″ (manga)Ken Murphy / 11:42 pm November 7th, 2010 Kou Yaginuma “Rocket Girls”Ken Murphy / 3:48 am September 20th, 2010 Housuke Nojiri. Trans. by Joseph Reeder “Twin Spica, Vol. 3″ (manga)Ken Murphy / 11:58 pm September 10th, 2010 Kou Yaginuma Librarian’s Note: A very sentimental story so far, as Asumi struggles in her studies at the Tokyo Space Academy. One of my favorite pages so far: “Twin Spica, Vol. 2″Ken Murphy / 1:45 am July 12th, 2010 Kou Yaginuma “Cavemen in Space”Ken Murphy / 1:39 am July 12th, 2010 Weiser,Joey “Twin Spica, Vol. 1″ (manga)Ken Murphy / 12:13 am May 5th, 2010 Kou Yaginuma Librarian’s Note: Some fresh space manga for young American audiences. Young Asumi applies to the Tokyo Space School, and is accompanied by a lion-headed spirit that helps guide her through the trials of life. The protagonist is 13 years old, so I can easily envision readers as young as 9 or 10 enjoying this one. “Outer Space Activity Book”Ken Murphy / 12:11 am April 13th, 2010 Levin, Freddie “Les Tea Sisters, Tome 8: Destination Étoiles”Ken Murphy / 8:37 pm February 16th, 2010 Stilton, Téa “Cosmic”Ken Murphy / 1:07 am January 22nd, 2010 Boyce, Frank Cottrell Librarian’s Note: Fresh out this week here in the U.S., so far (p. 49) this one is a brisk and engaging read. Make that a delightful read, and one that the grownups should read after their kids are done, as it gets pretty much everything right. “Carole Marsh Mysteries #27: The Mission Possible Mystery at Space Center Houston”Ken Murphy / 12:53 am November 6th, 2009 Marsh, Carole Librarian’s Note: Missing Moon rock, huh? Sounds like the summer I was at NASA Academy as Program Support and on our trip to JSC in Houston we were denied the opportunity to visit the Moon Rock Lab because some idiot interns thought they could steal a safe full of Moon rocks and sell them on the internet. Major Fail, and I think the idiot miscreants are still where they belong. That was just a bad year, as some idiot fundamentalists had gotten it into their heads to fly some planes into some buildings, and so on the Academy trip to KSC we were denied a chance to visit the Orbiter Processing Facilities (OPFs) and the VAB. Yes, I’m still resentful to this day, as that was probably the only chance I’ll get in life to see the Moon rocks up close and fondle them, and not just shards in lucite which is what most people get to see through the Moon Rock Certification Program (run through NASA’s Educator Resource Center Network). “Tumbler”Ken Murphy / 11:23 pm January 1st, 2009 Gamblin, Brand “Max Goes to Jupiter”Ken Murphy / 2:40 am January 1st, 2009 Bennett, Jeffrey, Nick Schneider & Erica Ellingson.
