Superman is the World's Greatest Hero! With super-strength, lightning speed, laser vision, and the ability to fly, he keeps Earth safe. But what is the science behind strength, speed, sight, and flight? And does anything or anyone in our world have similar abilities to Superman? Superman Science explores how real-life science and engineering relates to the Man of Steel's famous powers—and the real-world connections may surprise you.
"In this science book readers learn about flight, X-rays, speed, strength, and more. The text is broken down into examinations of each power Superman has at his disposal and expands upon it with real-world science. . . .The information is presented in easily digestible paragraphs that can be read discretely. Small scientists can read about one area or several with ease. . . .A serviceable science text for curious and nerdy readers." - Kirkus Reviews

Most of all, she loves reading books about anything and everything and asking 'why?'
