Mikey and the Rocket Ship is a short story for young readers, one which has been celebrated for its depth as well as strong messaging in dealing with loss. Mikey and the Rocket Ship seeks to inform as well as educate its readers to mature subject matter in a digestible manner.
This story is about a boy named Spencer and his best friend Mikey. The two love spending their idyllic summer days chasing mallards and blue jays... that is until one day Mikey becomes incredibly ill with something called cancer. This doesn't stop the boys from concocting a plan to build a rocket ship and fly to space where they hope to find a magic healing stone. Mikey and the Rocket Ship is a story of love, loss and most importantly, of the individuals who help weave the tapestry of our lives.
A stunning love letter to the simplicity and fleeting wonder of youth. Informative and moving... delicate and inspiring... this is a book any child who has experienced loss should read.
