Recensioner i media

"A young girl and her mother chase the aurora borealis. . . the vast majority of science facts are found only in the dense, text-heavy backmatter, which explains the science behind eclipses and auroras, describes how to hunt for them and the best conditions for seeing them, and provides further resources. Lee's nature scenes can be luminous, the colors at their best seeming to glow on the pages and beckon readers in. . . may have readers itching to start hunts of their own."
