George's Secret Key to the Universe

297 pp. | Simon | October, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4169-5462-0 $17.99
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Garry Parsons. With Christophe Galfard. An amiable supercomputer allows George and Annie to explore space--up close and personal. An evil science teacher provides the requisite peril, but narrative plays second fiddle to a cogent synopsis of the fundamentals of astronomy and physics. The science is enthusiastically described and accessible but poorly integrated into the formulaic story. Includes glossy full-color captioned images of the universe.
Reviewer: Claire E. Gross
