The Space Mission Adventure 
The Space Mission Adventure is quite different from the earlier Ziggy books. No longer learning about local history in Ohio, the boys head off to Space Camp in this Ziggy installment. While it’s nice to learn about space, I missed all the African-American history that Draper so effortlessly wove into the prior books.
Full of information about space camp and how astronauts eat, sleep and even go to the bathroom in space, this book is bound to interest your budding astronaut. Lovers of the Ziggy series may miss the feeling of adventure present in the first three books. The boys have a mystery to solve, but it is not nearly as serious as the earlier ones.
Working in some last minute diversity, Draper name drops some astronauts of color, however she provides little background information about them and instead uses a fictional African-American female astronaut in her story. At the end of the book, she does provide a page of website links at the end for readers who want to learn more.
