Anybody with the name Neil Armstrong is bound to be on a mission to defy gravity! But the Neil Armstrong in this case is not the one who uttered the immortal words, “that’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”, when he stepped on to the surface of the moon in 1969.
Instead, he’s the main character in Zebra’s new book for children in Afrikaans, Neil Armstrong Smit en die Coriolis-Krag. Young Neil is plagued by problems of a far more serious nature than whether the space module will get back to Earth or not.His father’s always away on work, so he’s obliged to live with his eccentric grandfather instead.
