scarlettletters's review against another edition
5.0
I loved the way this book was written. It's definitely geared toward older elementary school students, but it explained Brownian motion, the photoelectric effect, and even special relativity in ways that made sense to me (although, to be fair, I had some exposure to these topics before). It read like a novel and made even someone like Einstein seem like a normal guy with problems and weaknesses.

Krull does an amazing job making Einstein and his work accessible for middle graders. Quite an enjoyable and fascinating read. I couldn't say whether all the science information was 100% accurate but it certainly read well. And amazingly enough, Krull doesn't leave out some of Einstein's lesser qualities (lack of people skills, womanizing, etc.).

It was fun, interesting and very easy to read about Einstein's life in this short, yet informative, chapter book.
