This guide for curious tweens promotes critical thinking through a series of very loosely organized questions, accompanied by well-documented trivia, quotes from students, and extension activities. Emphasizing speculation, the book offers springboards for discussion in or outside the classroom. It supports its broad-ranging questions with explanations that make complex topics accessible and may inspire further inquiry.
