Ideal Gift for a 10-Year-Old
I purchased this for my nephew, who's a big fan. It's packed with great information and is suitable for his age. It's a bonus that it's educational. I'll definitely be getting more from the series!

Great for kids
Purchased for my autistic son who is the biggest fan of Elon Musk. He read the whole thing the same day he got it.

Worth buying, but falls a little short in some areas
There are more grammatical errors and printing errors than I would like to see in an educational book for kids. I'm reading it with my son, so I'm able to point out the issues to him. The other thing that somewhat stuck out to me was the book doesn't really represent Elon's core values and beliefs as much as it should. It would have been nice if they spent more time discussing his passion for sustainability and everything he's doing for the earth and humanity, and it would have been nice if they pointed out the reason why he created SpaceX in the first place - to make humanity a multi-planetary species - and why that is essential for the long-term survival of our species. The book is a good starting point to learn about him, but nowhere near comprehensive enough even for kids, Elon is an incredible human being and I think I would have written the book a little differently, but it's still worth having.

9 year old boy enjoyed it but contains inappropriate content
Nice account of his upbringing and professional journey and accomplishments. What I found off-putting was the odd accounts of his love life. I think it is fine to include information on his children but listing out the women who have bore his children and whether or not he was married to them is inappropriate content in a book marketed to children IMHO.

Inspiring and Educational
Great book for kids. My grandson like this one so I bought the whole set since I figure it's an investment in his education too. It's not just a biography; the vocabulary builders and extras like fun facts made it more interesting. A solid mix of inspiration and education, making it a top pick for young readers interested in Elon Musk.

I bought this book for my grand son as a Christmas present. Although 9, he is extremely interested in technology. He loved the book and commented on learning new words in the vocabulary builder. Great job, great book.
