Read this as part of our homeschool chemistry course and I really enjoyed learning more about Marie Curie!

This is a book that my son is reading as a supplement for his chemistry class. I recently read Half Life, a historical fiction novel about Marie Curie, and it was such a good story that I wanted to learn more about her. This biography is really detailed and perfect for middle schoolers. It left out her personal drama, which would not be appropriate for kids. I really enjoyed reading this book, and I hope my son does as well when he finishes it.

It taught me a lot about Marie Curie that I didn't know about her before. In it, I also learned about her husband, Pierre Curie, and her family.
It was relatively well written. In some parts, there is a lot of technical scientific stuff and I have no clue what it's talking about, which is somewhat boring/annoying (although it's to be expected in a biography about a scientist).

LOL, this may be the one I read...in elementary school....fascinated with her though, loved autobiographies.
