* "[Carson's] enthusiasm shines through her clear, conversational narrative, and she quotes from personal interviews as well as press conferences and releases, extending the book's intimacy . A worthy companion to Catherine Thimmesh's Team Moon (2006) with similar appeal." -- Kirkus, STARRED review "Well-organized chapters keep the chronological narration flowing smoothly, while sidebars and "Mission Brief" insets supply scientific explanations and data at need-to-know points in the text. Pluto enthusiasts will be fascinated by the recent data that amends many previous assumptions about Pluto . readers who want to get in the ground floor of new discoveries will also appreciate this introduction to exciting information forthcoming from the 2014 MU69 flyby." --Bulletin "Carson maintains a thrilling sense of immediacy, bolstered by Uhlman's on-the-scene photos--and, of course, New Horizon's dramatic images of Pluto and its fellow residents of the Kuiper belt." --Publishers Weekly "This enthusiastic, accessible look at both cutting-edge scientific discovery and the dynamic work behind the scenes will be an easy sell to spacemad kids ." --Booklist.
