Praise for The Eclipse of 1919School Library Journal, starred review
A Junior Library Guild Selection
★ “McCully brings her signature delicate illustrations in a combination of pen-and-ink and watercolors to convey Albert Einstein’s path to proving his theory of relativity…Blending rigorous research, scientific explanation, and the backdrop ofwar, this tale is unique in its attention to her subject’s missteps and experimental failures along the journey to worldwide acclaim…the art dances with movement and life, capturing Einstein’s energy and his quirkiness while adding a lighthearted counterpart to the detailed text....VERDICT A rigorously researched addition to the body of biographies about Einstein, and ideal for upper elementary students.” -
"The concise text introduces biographical and scientific information, while McCully’s distinctive ink-and-watercolor pictures beautifully illustrate the people, their actions, and the period settings."Booklist
