Challenged at the Discovery Middle School in Orlando (FL) because “parts of the book are dark, and [the book has] some content that’s rather questionable for a 12- and 13-year-old reader.” The author views the periodic table as one of the great achievements of humankind, “an anthropological marvel.” The book is full of stories showing how each element affected the people who discovered the elements, for either good or bad.
