It inspires me that at 10 years old Katherine went to high school and how she helped people travel to space and come back unhurt

This lady was a mathematician. She was the best and better than all her siblings in the higher year. She was the first scientist to fly seven men to space.

This was one of my favourite books to read as it tells a story of very inspirational and clever woman named Katherine Johnson. The story was about Katherine who was a clever mathematician and she sent people to space and back.It was due to her calculations that Niel Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins all went on Moon and came back safely from the Saturn v rocket.She broke down barriers that could have stopped her. The story interested me as it had real facts about how much she accomplished in her life and she continued learning till she was 101 years old-Amazing! Please do read it and get inspired!

I think it's one of the best books I've read so far. The book has great facts and phrases. It interested me because I love maths and she was doing a lot of maths and she loved counting in any way. She had a great attitude and she always wants to learn! She was the one who calculated how to get Neil Armstrong to the moon and back safely. Katherine was black skin coloured and she showed how there's no difference between black and white coloured skin people .
