This book is about a boy who needed to make a science project, and he made a rocket with things that can be recycled. And on the big day he went to the science fair and someone messed the project up but it all went well in the end. The best bit of the story was went they did the test run of the rocket.

I liked Stinky the hamster the best. He was very funny. It was good because the hamster was an astronaut. I would recommend this book.

This was a great book especially for the SPACE CHASE summer reading challenge 2019 because it is about a boy building a rocket and launching it with his hamster inside it !

I liked it because it was about space and i love animals just like stinky,the syrian hamster.I liked ben the most because he defeated edward in the space competition. I would recommend it to everyone because it teaches you a lesson that if you, win all the time you start to become a bully just like edward .
