Review: DRIVE by Stephanie Fournet
I have loved everything I’ve read from Stephanie Fournet, and DRIVE did not disa[...]
A month ago I received an email from Aero Studios, and I had to do a triple take. Wait. What? This author is sending his book, Nikolas & Company: The Merman and the Moon Forgotten…
… into SPACE? AWESOME!

If you’ve followed this blog for a while you may know (or not) that I’m somewhat of a space nerd. I went to Space Camp/Academy. More than once… (after begging to go back). I’m an engineer. I’ve wanted to be an astronaut since I was 8 years old. So… when I found out that Kevin was launching his book into SPACE to promote his book, and offering a Kindle Fire to the person that guessed how far away it landed (details below)… I had to participate!
As part of his April 14th publication, Kevin built a high altitude balloon system equipped with an HD GoPro camera, and a mount for the book. He sent it 100,000 feet up, which is considered near space. The near space area is between 65,000 and 350,000 feet. — Aero Studios
“I wanted to show teens where a book could truly take them. See, in the near future, fourteen-year-old hero, Nikolas, discovers that our moon is the cradle of all magical civilization. In order to travel there, Nikolas and company have to launch and ride a shuttle to Moon. When they read, they can go 100,000 feet above the Earth’s surface, and more!” — Kevin McGill
