Inspired by the childhood of real-life astronaut Chris Hadfield, The Darkest Dark will encourage listeners to dream the impossible.

Chris loves rockets and planets and pretending he's a brave astronaut exploring the universe. Only one problem: At night Chris doesn't feel so brave. He's afraid of the dark.

But when he watches the groundbreaking moon landing on TV, he realizes that space is the darkest dark there is - and the dark is beautiful and exciting, especially when you have big dreams to keep you company.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Critic reviews

"The idea that a famous astronaut was once afraid of the dark may win some recalcitrant bed-goers' hearts, and readers with dreams of space travel will jump at this." ( Publishers Weekly)

A wonderful book that I found to be developmental and maturative for a young man with a type A personality coming of age such as myself. I found this book to be very well read and enjoyable. I further highly recommend this book.

A great book
