5.0 out of 5 starsA great book for readers of all ages!
July 30, 2018
An awesome book. I would recommend this for readers of all ages! While the original Hidden Figures is an amazing book, it is almost more a reference than a story. The amount of detail is a bit overwhelming, even for the avid readers in my book club. And so, I believe that the Young Readers' Edition is a more accessible version of the book for the majority of readers.

2.0 out of 5 starsDecent but has some issues
September 6, 2019
Overall screen saver installs per the directions. It is a little more difficult than your standard peel and stick protectors, but not too bad if you follow the directions. Installation went well - no bubbles or dirt under the protector. Cured with UV light as directed and all was good. However, after about 48 hours the protector developed several bubbles under the lower right corner. You could push down on the protector and they would disappear for a little while but would eventually return. I suspect that the glue did not cure properly even though I followed directions exactly. Hopefully, the bubbles wont spread. As of now they are on the corner and not in middle of screen so not too noticeable.

4.0 out of 5 starsA Most Remarkable Story!
April 27, 2018

3.5 stars

"That's one small step for a man . . . . . one giant step for mankind." - Neil Armstrong

Some of the most famous words of the last century were spoken from the moon. But who knew how much work went into the meticulous mathematical calculations that placed our American astronauts onto the cover of modern history. Some of these hard working professionals were not only trend setters in their field, but they were also young African American women, who had determined their way into the National Aeronautics and Space Administration position by position, having to over-prove their brilliance every step of the way.

Dorothy Vaughn, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson, and Christine Darden should be unforgettable.

While quite interesting, this book did not seem written for "young readers", for the information is quite technical at times and more suited for a textbook than informal reading. However, it's a story that needed to be told and I applaud the author for telling it.

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
I love the stories and information in this book. Do not read it if you are expecting a smoothly flowing narrative story. Everytime you think you are about to hit a narrative and get some rising action, the author flips to another story. The timeline and details are great. Definitely a lot of research has been put into this book. It reads really dry. It is hard to keep the flow of the story. If you are interested in the time frame and subject matter it is a definite must read.

I'm so proud of these women whose stories were finally told. I lived in the Hampton Roads area and never heard of these three phenomenal trailblazers in my history books. Katherine Johnson, Mary Jackson, and Dorothy Vaughn did their jobs with pride, grace, and dignity.

December 29, 2016
Format: Paperback
For every little girl with a dream (Young and Not So Young :-) ),, this is a must have for every library. Our daughter hasn't put it down yet. In fact I have not seen her with her cell phone or tablet in her hand since this arrived... HMMMM

Great book. Our whole family has ready it. My daughters loved it and couldn't wait to see the film. However, I would say that the book is much better. The movie just couldn't cover all the book tells of and focuses specifically on the space quest.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat book for 12-14 year olds.
December 8, 2019
Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
I read this book before giving it to my niece. Ive also read the adult version. I would say the young readers version is edited for subject matter. And writen in a way to make complex issues understandable to a young reader. In parts important subject are deleted from the book. But if you have watched the movie, which is great, this version of the book more closely follows the movie. If you have a youngster that is interested in science, this is a great book to give. Its not a book to explain racial injustice or sexism in our society, so younger readers might not understand why the women were treated in a certain way in the book. Otherwise it is a good book.

Historically relevant, engaging, and emotional. Hidden Figures is a "must read" for the teachers of math, sciences, and social studies. The book brings tons of details that had to be left out from the movie. I would recommend the reading to students in grades 5 through 12.
