Eli Mason: The Boy That Never Gives Up!

What does it take to do something no one has ever done?

Seven-year-old Eli Mason wants to fix the world's biggest problems. Between learning calculus at the kitchen table and timing tennis-ball tosses in the backyard, he lands on a bold dream: a rocket that can fly, land itself, and fly again.

There's just one problem. Eli has eleven dollars and a button.

So Eli and his brilliant dog Luna, who barks once for yes and twice for no, get to work. He delivers newspapers before sunrise, mows lawns, shovels snow, and helps elderly neighbors, all while keeping his grades up. He runs rocket simulations day and night. Then he builds, tests, and crashes, more than a hundred times.

When his rocket explodes in midair and his parents ask him to think about giving up, Eli faces his hardest question yet. Is a dream still worth chasing when everything has gone wrong?

Full of real science explained simply, warm family moments, and plenty of humor, Eli Mason: The Boy That Never Gives Up! is an inspiring story about curiosity, hard work, and getting back up every time you fall.

Perfect for readers ages 7 to 10 who love science, space, and stories about kids who dream big.
