I am reviewing a copy of Hedy Lamarr through Frances Lincoln Children's Books-Quarto Publishing Group and Netgalley:



From a young age Heddy Lamarr was fascinated with machines, She loved to sit with her father and hear all about scientific theories.  A gifted musician and actress, she soon found fame on the stage, but her scientific curiosity never stopped.




Heddy came up with ingenious inventions, blazing a trail for women in science and making great strides towards science.  Heddy did well with electronics, chemistry, engineering – whatever Hedy put her mind to.  She not only had a glittering film career, but developed the technology that formed the basis of Wifi and Bluetooth used in our world day.




This book is beautifully illustrated as well as informative and will remind children what they can do if they put their mind to it.




I give Heddy Lamarr five out of five stars!



Happy Reading!
