Jake's Rating: 7 3/4 / 10 (he's been working on math this summer)
Mom's Review: What a brilliant bloody book. Lots of interesting information presented in a way that kids don't even realize they are learning something. Jake had an brilliant idea of just reading a couple of facts each night so that he wouldn't be overwhelmed by the book. This really worked for us and it led to some lovely family time. The author also puts in lots of descriptions that will appeal to young boys (and mom's like me who basically are 9 yr old boys) and reluctant readers. I agree with Jake on the illustrations, they were fun, but I would have liked more of them. As Jake mentioned there were a lot of big words, but I liked that because he came to me and asked me what they meant, which led to lots of interesting conversations (e.g Spontaneous Human Combustion) This is a must have for every public and middle school library. We will definitely be keeping this one -- and lending it out of course. Also as a Library worker, I LOVED the Index at the back
