fionak's review against another edition
3.0
From a narrative standpoint, its a bit boring; I guess that's reality though and its very relatable. The illustrations are adorably done, although they fail to add dimension to the story. The section at the end featuring actual bug science is my favorite part of the book.
I received a copy of this book free from the publisher for review.

Lily was fascinated by this story. I appreciated that it was a true story of a community enveloping a future scientist.

I received this book from LibraryThing in exchange for a review here and on my blog Samwise Reviews. I loved this. It was a really touching story of a young girl who was bullied for her interests, and with the support of other scientists, persevered. Sophia seems like the kind of girl that many other children will be able to relate to and draw support from. I love the idea of the #BugsR4Girls community and encouraging #WomenInScience. The artwork was also beautiful and I especially liked all the watercolor plants. Kerascoët also illustrated Malala's Magic Pencil, which is also a fantastic book. The last few pages of this book are filled with bug facts that are well presented and laid out for any age of reader. Definitely a hit and a great addition to any library. I am also able to use it for the "Written by More Than One Author" part of my 2020 reading challenge.
