Review Detail

Explore the universe's fundamental elements from cosmic origins to future possibilities in Quantum!

Full of facts, Quantum is perfect to stimulate younger minds curious about the universe; from galaxies to black holes, readers are presented definitions and examples of the matter and physics that started it all. There is a ton of information, which can be overwhelming. I'd say this book is aimed for middle-schoolers at the youngest.

Daviz's vibrant, humanized illustrations bring particles and planets to life with humorous kinetic energy. They are fun and give levity to this text heavy book.

The back matter includes index, glossary and list of authors and scientists who assisted the author with scientific facts. I do wish the author had a more diverse group of scientists that helped with the information found in Quantum, to help encourage young girls to get into the sciences.

Quantum! was an excellent book to use in conjunction with Marvel's Ant-Man in our homeschool science curriculum. This would be a good purchase for intermediate to high schools or public libraries as an introduction to universal particles and physics.
