I did not know much about Madame Curie before I read this book, but this book covered every detail of her life. From when she was growing up at home in Poland to when she studied at the Sorbonne in Paris, Marie was always the smartest in her class. Not only was she smart in science, but also in math. She was a brilliant scientist who married Pierre Curie, a fellow scientist. They both worked together and worked very hard to discover radium. Marie Curie went on to win two Nobel Prizes. But unfortunately, the radium had made her very sick and she died at the age of 66.
