Illustrated by
Anoosha Syed.
Stabler spotlights sixteen notable names in the fields of space, nature, physics, and inventions. Focusing on his or her youth, each entry chronicles early education, interesting escapades, and challenges (such as racism, sexism, ableism, and school troubles), then briefly summarizes the person's major adult accomplishments. Syed's cartoonlike illustrations provide regular breaks and add comedy to the narratives. Entertaining as well as encouraging to passionate, outside-the-box young thinkers. Bib., ind.
