Reviews
A Mighty Girl's 2019 Books of the Year
"Gehl clearly conveys her subject's childhood excitement about the cosmos and her determination, 'as fiery as a supernova, ' to learn more and fire up others. An inspiring book about an influential scientist and the allure of the stars."--Kirkus Reviews
