  This is an odd little biography of Isaac Newton. It seems to be aimed at a young reader, probably younger than the age that most children encounter Newton. The sentence structure seems to be trying to reach young children. It is interesting, and is probably good for children who have learned about Newton at a museum or elsewhere.
  
  For older children, it places perhaps too much emphasis on Newton's angry childhood, rather than on his accomplishments. It also lacks any kind of chapter divisions or headings, which means the story all runs together like one long monologue.
  
  I have not had a chance to check the authors facts, and it would have been nice if there were at least one or books in a bibliography in the back for additional information. Nonetheless, I have it in my school library, and intend to keep it there, as the language makes it an easy introduction to Newton for younger readers.
