Caro's Comet: The Celestial Cinderella
by Robin Pullen

Caro and her magic Telescope discover “the lady’s first comet” as William identifies the planet Uranus. Journey into astronomy to discover how the first salaried female in science dares to reach beyond expectations to sweep the skies and earn the Gold Medal of Science!
