Publisher's Synopsis
When Stephen Hawking was a little boy, people often called him odd. He was different. When the other kids were busy playing and having fun Stephen wondered about the mysteries of space, stars and beyond. Then a sudden bout of illness changed his life forever. But Hawkings wasn't one who'd give up so easily. He fought his illness and overcame disabilities, and his genius and endless curiosity powered his work. He went on to make several revolutionary discoveries, including the black hole theory that shook the science world.
