Horribly Famous: Darwin and Other Seriously Super Scientists Award-winning illustrator by Dr Mike Goldsmith (author) and Clive Goddard (illustrator)

You’ve probably heard of a few scientists. There’s Galileo and his telescope, Isaac Newton and his apple, and Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution. But did you know that:

Galileo was sentenced to life in prison for his shocking ideas about the solar system
Newton didn’t really like science that much, and sometimes it got on his nerves
Darwin wrote a book about his pet worms

Yes – even though they’re dead, scientists are still full of surprises! Get the lowdown on ten horribly famous ones in this horribly funny, horribly gripping book. Read the inside story in their lost notebooks, gasp at the news reports as their breakthroughs hit the headlines, and find out all about their mad and mind-blowing experiments!
