From School Library Journal:
Grade 7-10-- Because of its small size and distance from the sun, Pluto is the most difficult planet to observe and the last planet to be discovered. Percival Lowell began to search for it in 1905, but it was not discovered until 14 years after Lowell's death in 1930. The painstaking search and the special methods used for observing this small dim planet and its satellite are described in this clear, interesting account by a master science writer. Asimov also tells about the possibility of an undiscovered tenth planet. Black-and-white pen-and-ink drawings and diagrams illustrate the text. Since little has been written about Pluto, which will not be visited by the Voyager space probe, libraries serving young people will want this book. --Margaret M. Hagel, Norfolk Public Library System, VA
