There are lots of interesting facts and explanations, though perhaps over-simplified, even for the intended junior audience.

The author was far too 'kewl' for this older gentleman's taste. Maybe youngsters like this kind of condescension. Serves me right for buying the book online, unseen and for peanuts. Hmm, maybe that's why it was so cheap?

I learned a lot from this book. Easy to read and to understand. with amazing pictures and info about the stars.
the what, when, where and why usual questions I keep asking were answered in this book :)
from names-positions of stars in the galaxies and to the night skies, I can distinguish some stars now! :D (achievement)

all I need is a telescope to apply what I read and learned from this book :
