Annotation:
Galileo meets a young boy, Massimo, who causes Galileo to question Aristotle's theory that things fall at different speeds. Together, Galileo and Massimo prove to a crowd of scholars that things fall at the same speed.
Personal Reaction:
I found this book to be an interesting way to learn about Galileo's theories. The end of the book states that Massimo is a fictional character, but the story sill serves a purpose in teaching that questioning things can lead to new discoveries.
