My 12 year old child loves this book. He started reading it immediately after pulling it out of his St. Nick’s stocking. He would give us updates after each chapter and frequently refers back to it. “It’s just so interesting!” I haven’t seen him this excited about a book in awhile.

Bought this to read to both my 11 and 9 year old children. So far have read through it with my 11yo. She had been asking a lot of questions about the big bang and the universe and this was a perfect book. Brought up a lot MORE questions for her which was fun. I would say there are a lot of big words and concepts, even if talked about in a child-friendly way, and is definitely a good book to read WITH your kiddos. I think I learned a lot too!
