Who Was Sally Ride? by Megan Stine is a great book showing the first American woman astronaut in space. This also tells her life story too, not just her time at NASA. She was a great tennis player. I learned a lot about her in this book, she was a very private person and had lots of accomplishments the public probably doesn't know about. Great book.

I have to make a little mention of something here. All growing up I had heard that Sally Ride was the first WOMAN in space. That is not true. She was the first AMERICAN woman in space. Don't get me wrong, I love America and all that, but I don't like being misled, even if it's on accident. I'm glad that in one of the sidebars the author told about Valentina Terseshkova. She was a Russian cosmonaut. Chosen, partly, because she was an amateur skydiver. In 1963 she spent three days circling the ear...

I found this book very interesting

4 starThese "Who Was-Who Is?" series of books are always nice to read. They generally start with the person's birth or childhood and then their youth and why they became famous. Their personalities and families etc. In the back is a timeline of the person's life and a time line of events in the world so you can compare what was going on during that person's life. (Sometimes we can't imagine someone not living like we do today but if you see that someone was 28 and fighting in Germany during WWII...

Sally Ride was an astrophysicist who became the first American woman to fly into space. This biography, part of the popular “Who Was…” series, clearly relates Ride’s life, from her childhood interests in sports and science to her work developing a robotic arm for space shuttles. Inspiring and informative, in an easy-to-read format. I especially like the parallel timelines at the end, which help young readers put Ride’s life in context of world events.
