"Perfect for fans of Hidden Figures and Mae Among the Stars! To Boldly Go tells the true story of Nichelle Nichols and how she used her platform on Star Trek to inspire and recruit a new generation of diverse astronauts and many others in the space and STEM fields. As Lieutenant Uhura on the iconic prime-time television show Star Trek, Nichelle Nichols played the first Black female astronaut anyone had ever seen on screen. A smart, strong, independent Black woman aboard the starship Enterprise was revolutionary in the 1960s when only white men had traveled to outer space in real life and most Black characters on TV were servants. Nichelle not only inspired a generation to pursue their dreams, but also opened the door for the real-life pioneering astronaut Sally Ride, Dr. Mae Jemison, and more. This empowering tribute to the trailblazing pop culture icon reminds us of the importance of perseverance and the power of representation in storytelling. You just might be inspired to boldly go where no one like you has ever gone before!"--… (meer)

Made me sad a little. I deeply love Uhura and realizing how much she was limited on the show feels devastating. (

A great Juvenile biography of how NichelleNichols became an actress, developed Uhura, and advanced civil rights as well as the mission of NASA. (

I liked the story itself and the way it offered context for why Star Trek was important to the fight for racial equality and Nichelle's role in that. The artwork, however, was not a good fit for this slice of history as it didn't offer recognizable illustrations of real people (I would not have known that was MLK if the text didn't tell me and Ms. Nichols too!).

A nice retelling of an anecdote Nichelle Nichols told in her autobiography, Beyond Uhura: Star Trek and Other Memories and in various other places over the years about a time when she felt like leaving the role that had made her famous and a source of inspiration for so many. The author personalizes it by telling how Nichols effected her and her family as they sat watching Star Trek in their home.

I like that a tribute to the astronauts Nichols helped recruit after Star Trek ended is included, but the misspelling of Judith Resnik's name is unfortunate and should have been caught by an editor. (
