Description
This book is an inspiring
story of a young woman who overcame the odds and eventually became the first
woman officially employed as a scientist (by the King of England himself!). This
book details Caroline’s story as she made the big decision to move away from
home at a young age to live with her brother, William. Working together, the
two of them made fascinating discoveries about the night sky which included the
discovery of a whole new planet! This simplified version of the story of
Caroline comes with excerpts from Caroline Herschel’s autobiography, beautiful
illustrations, and a timeline of Caroline’s life in the back of the book. 40

Publisher's Description of Caroline's Comets
Born the youngest daughter of a poor family in Hanover, Germany, Caroline was scarred from smallpox, stunted from typhus, and used by her parents as a scullery maid. But when her favorite brother, William, left for England, he took her with him. The siblings shared a passion for stars, and together they built the greatest telescope of their age, working tirelessly on star charts.
