The story: Radioactive! introduces readers to Irene Curie and Lise Meitner, women scientists in the 1920s-30s who helped revolutionize the study of physics--and both of whom, because they were females, have been largely forgotten while their male counterparts are remembered in the textbooks. This volume goes a good way toward rectifying that mistake!
June Cleaver's ratings: Language G: Violence PG; Sexual content G; Nudity G; Substance abuse G; Magic & the occult G; GLBT content G; adult themes (persecution of the Jews by the Nazis) PG-13; overall rating PG-13--mostly because the complex content isn't something that will reach out and grab middle school or younger readers.
