Part of a collection of titles introducing the planets and solar system to nine-year-old reluctant readers, this book focuses on space travel. It is part of the "Take-Off" series which is designed to be used by children at the age of nine who are struggling to achieve the levels of literacy expected of their age. The titles chosen are based on best-selling titles within existing Heinemann Library series, and meet all Key Stage 2 requirements for the subject. The National Literacy Strategy emphasizes that children with special educational needs should work, wherever possible, with their peers within the Literacy Hour. The aim is to use structured, intensive teaching to enable as many children as possible eventually to work at the appropriate level for their age.

One day in the future, a patient with a life-threatening disease may receive a cure that causes disease-affected cells to be replaced by healthy, young cells. This is one of the promises of stem cell research. But is stem cell research ethical? And does it cross over the moral boundaries that determine where life begins?
