About the Book:
Asteroids, meteoroids, meteors, meteorites! What in the World! Gordon the Gullible Globe hears Astrid Asteroid wailing because a piece of her rock has broken off, followed shortly by a loud BOOM! Matty Meteorite has collided with Earth and there is trouble. Dr. Dee Dee Dynamo and her team whisk off in Freeda the Flying Ambulance to Chelyabinsk, Russia, to repair the damage. Can Dr. Dee Dee Dynamo reunite Astrid Asteroid and Matty Meteorite?
Dr. Dee Dee Dynamo’s Meteorite Mission ties into one of the most newsworthy events of the year, which took place on February 15, 2013, when a bright ball of fire lit up the skies over the Southern Urals region of Russia. What became known as the Chelyabinsk meteor had entered the Earth’s atmosphere at almost 60 times the speed of sound and the airburst from the meteor explosion and the following shockwave injured over 1,500 people and damaged 7,200 buildings in the area.
About the Author:
A native of Guyana, South America, and Barbados in the Caribbean, Dr. Williams’ science teacher mother and journalist father instilled in her a love for the sciences and writing from an early age. Her professional journey includes an undergraduate degree in Biophysics at Johns Hopkins University, graduate degrees in public health and medicine at Harvard Medical School, and surgical training at leading academic medical centers including Massachusetts General Hospital and The Lahey Clinic.
She rated by her peers as one of America’s leading urologic surgeons. Through her volunteer work in the community and as a teacher and mentor, Dr. Williams is committed to inspiring all all children, and especially girls, towards a greater interest in science, a positive attitude, and the pursuit of excellence in all their endeavors. To further her advocacy of literacy and science education, she is authoring a series of children’s books.
Dr. Williams is a Harvard Medical School graduate who ranks among the top urologic surgeons in the United States. Her first children's book Dr. Dee Dee Dynamo's Mission to Pluto was published earlier this year.
My Review:
For an ultimate science lesson filled with space related terms and even medical terms , Dr. Dee Dee Dynamo's Meteorite Mission will fit the bill.
Dr. Dee Dee Dynamo is a young compassionate girl with a unique gift to save the world. Not only does she care for sick or injured animals she helps the world around her and in this addition to the series she is on a mission to help.
Will Dr. Dee Dee Dynamo be able to help Astrid Asteroid from any more trouble then what has already been caused. A piece of Astrid broke off and fell on earth, will the king doctor be able to step in to save the day to keep anything else from happening. With her special powers and her sanitized surgical instruments she will get right to the heart of the problem to repair what she can and hope for the best.
**Disclosure** This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review from the publisher.
