We'll discuss Challenger by Adam Higgenbotham. Books are available at the Adult and Teen Services Desk one month before each discussion.

On January 28, 1996, the space shuttle Challenger broke apart of the Atlantic Ocean, killing all seven people on board. The full story of what happened has never been told. It's a compelling tale of ambition and ingenuity undermined by political cynicism and cost-cutting. A masterful blend of riveting human drama and fascinating science.
