“This is the latest book in a series of four remarkable scientists. Anita Croy gives young readers in the age group of 10-13 an understanding of who Stephen Hawking was, beginning with his life as a child, his years at school and the influences that led him to his academic path.” – School Days Magazine
“The Scientists Who Changed the World series is a great introduction to scientists and Science. We find that the famous men and women of science were once young boys and girls who played with their peers, often struggled at school, and came from families like ours. They were men and women who had a great intellect and were lucky enough to have their imaginations stimulated by someone. The common thread with these scientists is the burning curiosity which prompted them to seek answers to questions which intrigued them.” – Blue Wolf Reviews
