Publisher Annotation: In this inspiring memoir, adapted from the simultaneous version for adults, young readers will get to learn about Leland Melvin?s remarkable life story, from being drafted by the Detroit Lions to bravely orbiting our planet in the International Space Station to writing songs with will.i.am, working with Serena Williams, and starring in top-rated television shows like The Dog Whisperer, Top Chef, and Child Genius. When the former Detroit Lion?s football career was cut short by an injury, Leland didn?t waste time mourning his broken dream. Instead, he found a new one?something that was completely out of this world.
