Annotation:
This story tells of the life of Galileo. He was very talented in medicine and science, and overcame many obstetrical to become the father of modern science. Lots of detail is given about his punishment by the church.
Personal Reaction:
This book is filled with information. I learned more about Galileo in this 30-some page book than I had learned in all of my time in school. I had no idea that he was so persecuted by the church. This book will flabbergast readers, and cause them to think about how hard it must have been to live in a time when new ideas were not welcomed.
Curricular Connection: 7th grade social studies (scientific revolution)
