This was a solid biography of science superstar Neil DeGrasse Tyson. The illustrations were more of a standout than the book. It would appeal to middle grade readers, especially those interested in space.

My students loved this book!
Neil deGrasse Tyson (1958-) is an astrophysicist, an author, and director of a planetarium in New York City. Starstruck takes you back to his childhood to show where his love for astronomy began.
I recommend this book for upper elementary students and up, if read independently.

A very approachable and interesting look at a fascinating scientist. Explores the roots of Tyson’s interest in astrophysics, and his skill at sharing the thrill of science. The author is upfront about the challenges Tyson faces because he’s black.

Fantastic book about working hard and doing what you love. I don’t know much about Mr Neil DeGrasse Tyson, but he sounds fascinating, and I’m going to learn more about him now.

A bright and shiny (much like it's subject) book about the life and passion of celebrated astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. This book details Tyson's life from his initial love affair with the cosmos to his astronomical rise to science royalty. The biographical book is beautifully illustrated and includes quotes from Tyson that could certainly be labeled as words to live by.

A favorite read of ours for this month! How can you not love Neil deGrasse Tyson?! So my girls were psyched to see this at the library. It was great! It captured his enthusiasm and personality so well and it was great learning about how he got to where he is. We love listening to StarTalk and watching Cosmos and his YouTube videos.

Interesting info and illustrations, but too text heavy to be read aloud and some of the writing felt awkward.
