Praise for Sam Gold and the Case of the Missing Uranium "Sam Gold is the new, modern Encyclopedia Brown. Great book that has a smart girl as the main character, one that loves science and is still a typical 8th grader." - Micheal Marsh, math educator "This book reminded me of the Nancy Drew mysteries I read as a tween and teen, but with a science twist. Readers of all ages will love following along with Sam's adventures as she solves the mystery and navigates the pressures of middle school." - Pamela Greenstein, educator and literacy specialist "The theme of the book is that science is fun and interesting and challenging, and that girls are just as successful in science - if not more so - as boys. The book is well written, and unlike many others, it does not talk down to the reader." - Amazon Review of "Sam Gold and the Case of the Missing Uranium"
