- Publishers Weekly
“Fascinating. . . . For a healthy dose of the genius of history and the history of genius, this is the book.”
- Picture Book Depot
“A fascinating book for any scientifically―or historically―minded kids. . . . Fabulously designed . . . each page is dynamic and eye catching.”
- Portland Book Review
“The writing is snappy and fun, the graphics are bright and inviting. Will be a great hit with the middle grade audience.”
- Manhattan Book Review
“An excellent addition to middle school libraries seeking to inject life into a tired and under-explored nonfiction section . . . Not only full of information but Kespert presents each inventor in a fun and entertaining way with original advertisements and photographs, colorful timelines, and tales of danger and hilarity. Many of the inventions can be made from the simple How To instructions and basic supplies. Perfect for S.T.E.M. schools or any student interested in learning about the origins of the increasingly technology-infused world in which we live.”
- VOYA (Voice of Youth Advocates)
“Features dozens of experiments, handy graphs and definitive timelines.”
- Boys' Life
