Story4.5 out of 5 stars 17,848
Eve looks like an ordinary 12-year-old girl, but there’s nothing ordinary about her. She has no last name. No parents or guardian. She’s on the run from a dangerous and secretive organization that will stop at nothing to track her down. And most astonishing of all: she’s a robot, a product of Eden Laboratories. When Eve discovers the truth, she realizes everything she thought she knew about herself is a lie. Eve manages to escape, fleeing the lab, the only home she’s ever known.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,591
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Beautifully Written! Beautiful Message!
The Kids Who Changed the World is a beautifully written book. It is written in rhyme, which makes it a lot more interesting to listen and is read in a very engaging manner. Although the book focuses on several inventors, I love that the book focuses on how each key figure (inventors) became who they are by embracing who they were as children. It talks about how some of these successful inventors were curious, different, quiet, curious, or had a great imagination, and by embracing their unique qualities they were able to become successful in their careers as inventors. I highly recommend this book. I think it is a fantastic way to help kids to perceive being different in a positive manner. This is a great addition to a child’s home library.
