In school she quickly skipped ahead several grades and was soon studying complex equations with the support of a professor who saw great promise in her. But ability and opportunity did not always go hand in hand. As an African American and a girl growing up in an era of brutal racism and sexism, Katherine faced daily challenges. Still, she lived her life with her father\u2019s words in mind: \u201cYou are no better than anyone else, and nobody else is better than you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the early 1950s, Katherine was thrilled to join the organization that would become NASA. She worked on many of NASA\u2019s biggest projects including the Apollo 11 mission that landed the first men on the moon.<\/p>\n<p>Katherine Johnson\u2019s story was made famous in the bestselling book and Oscar-nominated film Hidden Figures. Now in Reaching for the Moon she tells her own story for the first time, in a lively autobiography that will inspire young readers everywhere.    <\/p>\n<p> Publisher                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Atheneum Books for Young Readers; Reprint edition (May 5, 2020) <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 English <br \/> Paperback                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 272 pages <br \/> ISBN-10                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 1534440844 <br \/> ISBN-13                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 978-1534440845 <br \/> Reading age                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 10 years and up <br \/> Lexile measure                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 1040L <br \/> Grade level                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 5 &#8211; 6 <br \/> Item Weight                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 2.31 pounds <br \/> Dimensions                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 5.13 x 0.8 x 7.63 inches <\/p>\n<div id=\"product-summary\" data-hook=\"cr-insights-widget-summary\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none\">\n<div class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-spacing-top-\">\n<h3 data-hook=\"cr-insights-heading-label\" class=\"a-size-base-plus a-color-base a-text-bold\">Customers say<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"a-spacing-small\"><span>Customers find the book great, easy to read, and beautifully written.
