"A worthwhile purchase." - Booklist "In addition to being packed with biographical information and detailed illustrations, My Super Science Heroes drives home some of the qualities behind successful scientists. The books show young readers that just because we encounter problems doesn't mean we have to let them get in the way of our goals, or of what we believe is right." - Science Connected MagazineMore details
