I'm looking for a book I read years ago. It's a children's book (proper book, not pictures) about three boys who are following the Mercury program. They create a cardboard mockup and so on...
Near the end of the book they each write an essay about space/NASA/Mercury and enter into a competition.
Does this ring any bells?

This sounds vaguely familiar. I will look around.

The book I was thinking about is "The First Book of Space Travel" by Jeanne Bendick. You can see pictures here. It contains three boys as well. There are pictures though so maybe this is not the one you were thinking of.

Thanks, but the book I'm looking for is a fiction book whose plot follows the boys.
It guess it was published during/just after Mercury, so early 60s.
