I am Neal Armstrong by Brad Meltzer Hardcover

Neil Armstrong is the first person to ever walk on the moon. But before he took those famous steps, he was a boy who loved airplanes. He learned how to fly, and when the space race began, he became a new kind of pilot: an astronaut. Now he could fly all the way to outer space. With bravery and patience, Neil and his team worked hard and, after many small steps, they took a giant leap together. They landed their lunar module on the moon. This friendly, fun biography series inspired the PBS Kids TV show Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum.
