Reviews
I liked the book because I liked the facts about Marie Curie. Marie Curie is a really cool person because she studied science the Nobel prize award twice. It inspired me.

It was a really nice book and it was really interesting. I especially enjoyed the mix of emotions in the book. In the beginning she was very dedicated to become a scientist and later on her husband Pierre died. Also my current class name is Marie Curie so it was interesting to know what the name means and who she is.

This is a non-fiction book all about a girl who wanted to make a difference. Even though she couldn't study in her home country, she didn't take no for an answer. She studied in a foreign language and won two Nobel prizes for physics. She inspired so many little girls and really did give women a chance. I would recommend this book to children and adults who like history, science and people who make a difference.

The book was a little bit too short for me but inspired me to find out more information about Marie Curie on the internet. They are some interesting facts about Marie Curie, she won the Nobel two times for chemistry and physics and this was absolutely amazing!
