About the Author:
Sara Latta is the author of several young adult books on health issues. She has also written numerous magazine articles for children and adults on science and medicine. She lives in Champaign, Illinois.
From School Library Journal:
Grade 2-4-Stella Brite and her brother, Max, are trying to put the Brite and Brite Detective Agency on the map. They put off finding the mayor's Pekingese in favor of solving the mystery of dark matter and its invisible influence on the universe. They start out by doing a routine background check using piles of books at the library and follow up with a visit to an astronomy club meeting, nose around a science lab, and end up in an underground cave searching for WIMPS (Weakly Interactive Massive Particles) with a science professor. Latta's simple scientific definitions and Johnson's blending in of NASA-credited photographs of space with bright cartoon paintings mix fact with fiction well. Close observers of the colorful images will notice that a hungry little Pekingese joins Stella and Max in their adventures, ensuring that they solve at least one of life's mysteries. The young detectives' enthusiasm in solving the scientific aspect makes this an entertaining way to introduce astronomy to young readers. The final page of the book has background information on dark matter. A clever mixture of mystery picture book and science lesson.-Kristine M. Casper, Huntington Public Library, NY
