All week I’ve been sharing books about space. And today, I’m sharing the best space books for young adults! I’ve already shared space books for kids and middle grade readers. But there are a ton of space books for young adults as well. Whether you’re looking for an awesome science-fiction book or one entirely set in space, this list is for you!
15 Out of This World Middle Grade Space Books
Today’s post is perfect for those looking for the best middle grade space books! Yesterday, I shared a list of fifteen space books for kids. But there are so many amazing middle grade space books too! Recently, I read Hidden Figures: Young Readers’ Edition and Reaching for the Moon. Since they are such great reads, I had to share a list of more middle grade space books! Whether you’re a teacher looking for recommendations or a parent with a budding astronaut, this list is for you!
15 of the Best Space Books for Kids
If you’re looking for the best space books for kids, I’ve got you covered! With the recent Space X and NASA launch, I’ve been more interested in reading books about space. There are so many amazing space books for kids — picture books, board books, fiction and non-fiction. Reading these books will have your children (or students) wanting to visit the moon and blast off in a rocketship.
Reaching for the Moon by Katherine Johnson
Because of the recent Space X and NASA launch, I’ve been wanting to read more books about space. Reaching for the Moon is the autobiography of Katherine Johnson, a former mathematician for NASA. As a mathematician, she played an important role in landing man on the moon.
Hidden Figures: Young Readers’ Edition by Margot Lee Shetterly
I am such a fan of space. Man on the moon and space expeditions in general are incredible intriguing to me. With the recent Space X and NASA launch, I finally took the time to pick up Hidden Figures: Young Readers’ Edition. It is such an insightful, engaging and educational read!
Yes No Maybe So by Becky Albertalli and Aisha Saeed
I’m a sucker for a great contemporary read and thankfully, Yes No Maybe So is one of those reads! Yes No Maybe So follows Jamie and Maya, two teenagers who canvas door-to-door for the upcoming senate election. While they are both incredibly different from one another, the experience brings them closer together. First of all, I adore these characters so much. Jamie is a really awkward teenager but he’s absolutely adorable.
