I love you, Michael Collins Cover Image Book Book

I love you, Michael Collins / Lauren Baratz-Logsted.

Baratz-Logsted, Lauren, (author.).

Summary:

It’s 1969 and the country is gearing up for what looks to be the most exciting moment in U.S. history: men landing on the moon. Ten-year-old Mamie and her classmates are given an assignment to write letters to the astronauts. All the girls write to Neil Armstrong ("so dreamy") and all the boys write to Buzz Aldrin ("he's got the greatest name!"). Only Mamie writes to Michael Collins, the astronaut who will come so close but never walk on the moon, because he is the one who must stay with the ship. After school ends, Mamie keeps writing to Michael Collins, taking comfort in telling someone about what's going on in her disintegrating family. As the date of the launch nears ... Mamie ... can't help but wonder: Does no one stay with the ship anymore?" --from back cover.
