Review: "A concluding section gives good, specific advice for young inventors (and their teachers)." --"Booklist"
"Enthusiastic, pleasantly specific, well-researched, and inspiring. Here's proof that serious inventors need not be adults, and that inventions need not be complex, expensive machines to be patentable, marketable, and, sometimes, lucrative." --"Kirkus Reviews"
"Engaging and inspiring." -- Los Angeles Times
"A useful book for encouraging self-expression and the creative process." -- School Library Journal
