Reviews... Jacob Berkowitz is the best kind of kids' science writer, able to maintain the tension between the profound and the pedestrian., ... this title has plenty of appeal as a current, widely angled, not-too-earnest introduction to some of modem astronomy's frontiers.

SynopsisA thrilling voyage into space with real-life astrobiologists searching for another earth-like planet that can support life., For the first time in history, humans are actively searching for alien life - specifically, another Earth-like planet in the universe.

Robotic spacecraft are searching for life on moons and other planets in our solar system. Out of This World gives young readers a window seat on this fascinating quest. They'll learn how extreme life forms here on earth may help us understand possible alien life, how our planetary next-door neighbors are getting investigated, about the billions of "exoplanets" that lie far outside our solar system and much more.Crammed with the latest space agency photography, artists' renderings and cosmic illustrations featuring a lovable alien named Ambrosia from the planet Xenon, this book appeals to space lovers and science keeners alike. It's also packed with activities, Astrofacts, profiles of astrobiologists, space artists and other alien hunters.
