An entertaining space fiction book for kids that holds a students attention with a tension filled story while concurrently teaching important economic principles.

"Perhaps it was my own space emergency that made Barry Asmus' book Apollo catch my attention. Here is a story about space, economics, and charming little creatures that reintroduced me to Adam Smith's 'invisible hand of the marketplace.' Choice, enlightened self-interest, voluntary exchange, and free markets are some of the ideas woven into the entertaining story line." Captain James A. Lovell, Apollo Astronaut
