interesting submitted by fairytale on August 19, 2012, 10:16am Interesting science book for kids.

Black Holes *Are* Interesting! submitted by sdunav on June 18, 2013, 5:45pm This is a middle-grade kid's book about a subject I have almost zero interest in - but I'd heard this was a contender for the 2013 Newbery, so I checked it out and was hooked from the first page.

It's funny, mind-boggling, extremely well-written and illustrated - just a wonderful science book for anyone
