Praise

“The series is consistently good. A great way to introduce kids to the wonder and vastness of the cosmos.”
—Jennifer Ouellette, Discovery News

“How this fiction and the science of astronomy are interwoven is the genius of this presentation…The series consistently does this juggling act well, in each instance giving readers the equivalent of team teaching.”
—Francisca Goldsmith, School Library Journal

The Manga Guide to the Universe does an excellent job of addressing some of the biggest science questions out there, exploring both the history of cosmology and the main riddles that still challenge physicists today.”
—About.com

“One of the best yet in the series (which is saying a lot).”
SeattlePi

“All teachers should be aware of this series of books, and if it’s their subject, they should keep a couple copies to lend out (or make it required reading). It’s that helpful!”
—Sequential Tart 

“The universe is a fascinating place, that inspires awe and wonder. And while The Manga Guide to the Universe does its best to explain it all, it never loses that wonder.”
—Manga Xanadu

“You don’t have to be a media-distracted, reading-resistant kid to enjoy, be challenged by, and learn from The Manga Guide to the Universe. Books like this can reach, teach and entertain students and casual readers of almost all ages.”
