Pluto has a secret, and it has held onto it for a very long time. This is the story of Pluto's history, its mystery, its naming, and its demotion from planet. All the planets and moons are personified by both the illustrations and text; Pluto has a smug smile because it has a secret, and it talks to us, sometimes giggling at the wrong assumptions of astronomers, while at other times encouraging them. The text nicely sums up all relevant information, but there is quite a bit of additional information included in the back regarding the planets, scientists, and telescopes along with a list of resources for the curious. At times the pictures are unnecessary, but they do add a fun quality. Pluto's secret is equally entertaining and informative.
