Reviews

"""[T]he reader can be assured that this book is not only informative, but interesting, and beautiful. For anyone wanting to learn about our solar system, this is definitely the book to read.Reviewer Rating: 5"" -Children's Literature -- (8/22/2023 12:00:00 AM) ""Hugo award-winning author and illustrator Miller brings his experience illustrating for NASA to this engaging book, taking curious readers on a fact-filled tour of the outer reaches of our solar system. . . . packed with information but also thoroughly entertaining.""--starred, School Library Journal -- (5/1/2023 12:00:00 AM) ""The text is engaging, occasionally alluding to science fiction works and popular conspiracy theories, and uses accessible examples . . . This inviting offering will be welcomed by student researchers and space nerds alike.""--Booklist -- (2/15/2023 12:00:00 AM) ""This inviting work is perspective adjusting, particularly for readers who haven't imagined much beyond a star, a handful of planets, and a few extra rocks. Tantalizingly introduces readers to far-flung scientific wonders.""--Kirkus Reviews -- (12/15/2022 12:00:00 AM)"
