A good introduction to Einstein's life. A few of his achievements and scientific articles are explained in an easy to grasp way.
There are several thoughts the author emphasizes: that it's okay to be different and an outsider, and that it's okay to not think like everyone else and to challenge your teachers. Not necessarily wrong ideas but it felt a bit pushy to me and perhaps a bit overboard? Normal, ordinary kids can achieve lofty heights too. I just wouldn't want a child thinking they had to make themselves an outcast and rebel against authority to accomplish something. Might be worth a discussion with your child.
Reading Level: 2nd -4th grades
Cleanliness: It mentions that Albert didn't like his strict teachers and how they taught so he rebelled (3 paragraphs regarding this). Mentions Albert falling in love with Mileva, their growing apart and divorce.
**Like my reviews? I also have hundreds of detailed reports that I offer too. These reports give a complete break-down of everything in the book, so you'll know just how clean it is or isn't. I also have Clean Guides (downloadable PDFs) which enable you to clean up your book before reading it! Visit my website: The Book Radar.
