[Adrian J. · Rating 3 out of 5]

Again, the LPBD series continues to leave out the consequences... kind of. In the Alan Turing section of the text, they do mention that because his work on the Enigma Machine was classified, he didn't get praise for it after the war... but other than that, there is no mention of the negative aspects of Turing or Tesla's lives, or the consequences they experienced for following their 'big dreams'. It continues to be frustrating that these texts give the 'Oh gosh I can achieve anything!' idea to children, without understanding that everything has a cost - whether it is in the form of effort, sacrifice or consequence.

Maddie wrote the cutest ideas at the end of the Tesla section.
