A gorgeous introduction to the twelve brave men who have left footprints on the moon, just in time to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the first lunar landing.

On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong took one small step and made history. Over the course of the next three-and-a-half years, twelve lunar explorers, including Alan Shepard and Gene Cernan, touched down on the moon's surface. Author and engineer Suzanne Slade reveals how the Apollo missions (1969-1972) built upon one another and led to important discoveries about our nearest neighbor in space. Back matter includes an afterword by Alan Bean (1932-2018), the fourth person to walk on the moon.

Praise for Daring Dozen

Praise for The Inventor's Secret (Slade)

  • NSTA Outstanding Science Trade Book for Students K-12
  • "A rewarding look at the importance of persistence, as well as the friendship that developed between these prominent inventors."--Publishers Weekly
  • "This dual picture-book biography of how Thomas Edison inspired Henry Ford succeeds in showing the emotional side of the life of an inventor. . . . It's an unusual angle and well executed, which makes it a good fit for STEM-oriented programs as well as storytimes about the benefit of good friendships."--Booklist
  • "Slade keeps the story moving along at a brisk pace that will delight young readers. . . . A terrific true story about how a little encouragement can engender a strong belief in one's self and the courage to persevere."--School Library Connection
