   Great little book
   Bought for my granddaughter but will most likely use a couple hacks myself.

   Great gift
   Gave to my 10 year old and he loved reading all the “hacks”. The binding came unglued but was able to get it replaced.

   Fun and Helpful!
   This book has amazing hacks and tips for all kinds of things from making your own crafts to reusing objects in unexpected ways. You can make your own tablet holder, pom-poms, or tote bag out of old materials. You can reuse carbingers, rubber bands, or binder clips in new ways. There are recipes to cook, activities to do, and crafts to make. There are even studying hacks to help you do well in school.I really liked the short biographies of scientists and inventors (many of them children or teens) who have made amazing discoveries and created their own ingenious hacks to make the world a better place. There is one about a monitoring device that detects illegal logging in the rainforest, and another one that provides medical testing for only one penny so that people can monitor their own health.Every page is full of colorful photos, and little boxes of information and instructions that make this book attractive and easy to read. I love the design!I found it funny that this book presents regular arithmetic as a “hack”. The “new math” that is taught in public schools today is so unnecessarily complex that plain arithmetic has now become a “hack”. If basic addition and subtraction has now become a “hack”, I fear for the future of the human race.Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for a free and honest review.
