3 posts | 3 read
Archie Morningstar learns a big family secret and helps save the universe. All before breakfast! It's not every day a regular kid like Archie gets to wake up at midnight. But today is Take Your Kid to Work Day, and Archie is finally allowed to ride along in his dad's taxi cab. He has been waiting eight years, eight months, and eight days for this moment to arrive. But he's about to discover his dad is no ordinary cab driver...In fact, he drives an intergalactic space taxi! All night long, he shuttles aliens from one corner of the universe to another. And being a space taxi copilot is no easy task: Archie must steer them into wormholes, keep them from crashing into planets, deal with a very unusual cat...and save the universe from an evil mastermind! Space Taxi marks the debut of a brand new chapter book series from New York Times bestselling author Wendy Mass and teacher Michael Brawer, filled with humor, adventure, and plenty of science to impress your friends and teachers!

Space Taxi: Archie Takes Flight (SF) by Wendy Mass and Michael Brawer is a fun (IR) for students. Archie gets to tag along in the taxi with his dad for a day. However, they travel to space and help the universe! This a silly read that is great for integrating science and literacy. #LAE3414SP19

giont This seems like a great book! I‘d be interested in reading it. You added a great resource as well :) 5y
DrSpalding Remember that not all books that travel to space are considered science fiction. This is more fantasy. 5y

After reading Pi in the Sky, I wanted to learn more about Wendy Mass and look more into her SF books! That brought me to the Space Taxi series, which is a short series that she wrote about a boy who discovers his father is not an ordinary taxi driver—he drives an intergalactic space taxi! In a series of 5 books, Wendy Mass and Michael Brewer give a silly and fun read into the space world. #LAE3414sp19

hkeiger I would encourage this book as an IR. I would include this series in my classroom library & give students the choice to read this series! The writing & illustrations are really funny so I am sure once one student reads one of them, it will spread like wildfire & everyone will want to read them! 5y
hkeiger Wendy Mass has offered an educators guide for each of these books. There is a whole website specifically for this series that is extremely helpful when planning discussions and lessons for students. http://www.spacetaxibooks.com (UDL 5.3, ESOL 36) (edited) 5y
