Boys all over the world dream of adventure. This story is the telling of an adventure for a boy who always wanted to go into space. Set in the future where there are space stations and colonies on other planets, young Roy wins a trip to a space station. Well written and entirely believable, this is a story that hasn’t aged a day since it was written (1954, a good read now as I’m sure it was then).
Islands in the Sky (Arthur C. Clarke)
