My 12 year old daughter really enjoyed reading this book
This book really helped her to understand who Darwin was, his historical context and why his discoveries were so important. As an adult I also found the book very engaging and educational and I found the final section on Darwin's legacy and the very clear explanation of his theories about natural selection genuinely enlightening. - Amazon customer
