Whether you’re an astronomer on earth or an astronaut soaring through space, the stars are something special to behold. This issue of CRICKET is filled with beautiful stories that show how the stars inspire us in every genre—realistic fiction, science fiction, fantasy, folktales, and yes, even a fascinating true story from history! Did you know that one of the most famous “duels” in the the Wild West was between two rival astronomers? Discover why the sky is far away in a classic Nigerian tale, meet two girls who find they’re reading each other’s life stories, and cheer on Tom as he enters a rocket-building competition—and maybe makes a new friend in the process!
Plus, solve a starry “Crossbird” puzzle, enjoy the comic adventures of Cricket and Ladybug, and read award-winning poetry by CRICKET readers! With something for every kid, readers will be over the moon about this issue of CRICKET!
