Space Attack

Reach for this book when you have a child who loves logic puzzles, gaming, or technology but needs a push to engage with traditional reading. It is a perfect bridge for the reluctant reader who views books as passive, transforming the reading experience into an active, high-stakes mission where their input matters. This interactive sci-fi adventure follows a space mission under threat, requiring the reader to step into the role of a tactical officer. By using basic logic and computer programming concepts (BASIC), children solve problems to advance the story. The narrative emphasizes resilience and calm under pressure, teaching that mistakes are simply data points to be corrected. While the technology is retro, the core emotional experience of taking agency and solving complex problems remains deeply relevant for middle-grade explorers.
