What reviewers said

“…great fuel for the imagination.”
Kirkus, starred
“Engrossing...scoop this one up.”
BCCB, starred
“Both books revisit subjects covered in earlier books (Castle, rev. 10/77; and The New Way Things Work, rev. 3/89, 3/99), but these topics are here presented with the needs of developing readers in mind.”
