A useful addition to any library catering to upper primary or lower secondary students. -- Veronica Forsyth Reading Time
Despite it's scientific content the essays are written in a very accessible style and the many topics investigated which range from the physical explanations of the universe to earth science to robotics and future predictions.

An excellent book that will do wonders to raise enthusiasm for science among young and old readers alike. -- Jonali Karmakar, Blogger
An amazing book. It was a binge read, really - perfect for both parents and kids! It shouldn't be considered a "children's book" - it's also good for adults that want to learn more about science and don't have a background, as it's basically like a usual Hawking book, but a bit more simplified.
