Frequently asked questions
Are these women real?
Yes! They are everyday women who really do work in amazing STEM careers. Their jobs are real, too!
Are these books just for girls?
Nope! Boys love The Look Up Series, too, and it's great for all kids to see that women hold space in Science, Math, Technology, and Engineering.
What age group are these books for?
Ages 8 to 12, which is 3rd grade through 6th grade. The Lexile Score ranges from 730 to 870.
