For any student interested in weird facts transmitted in an engaging and exciting way, this book is their jam. Kenney investigates some of the oldest organisms on Earth, from the epic to the bizarre, explaining the science behind their longevity in a fun and straightforward way. Making each of the discoveries personal with the accounts of the scientists involved creates a very human narrative thread that keeps the reader interested. The book also pops with color, sidebars, pictures, and asides that cover everything from evolutionary biology to modern conservation efforts. A list of resources and a glossary are helpful and sure to interest kids who leave the book hungry for more. ( )
