”…invites readers to explore how electricity is at play in virtually every part of existence…” –Booklist

”…lots to marvel at in this brightly illustrated guide…” –Library Journal

“Appealing and informative. This will appeal to fans of such pop science comics as The Hidden Life of Trees and Insectopolis.” –Publisher’s Weekly
