“The bond between physicist Marie Curie (1867–1934) and sister Bronia Dluska (1865–1939) forms the backbone of this fascinating double biography.” —Publishers Weekly
“’…the power of SCIENCE—and the power of SISTERS!’ is wholeheartedly celebrated, and further honored with whimsically patterned, richly textured mixed-media illustrations by—fittingly—twin-sister artists.”—The Horn Book
“The story is well-organized and elegantly told, but the resplendent illustrations are true works of art.” —Booklist
