An in-depth look into the extraordinary life of the worlds most important entrepreneur, Elon Musk This fascinating and easily accessible young readers adaptation of Ashlee Vances New York Times bestselling Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future features black-and-white photographs throughout and an epilogue. The version for adults has been praised as riveting (The Financial Times), spirited (The Wall Street Journal), and masterful (Vice). Now younger readers can read about this innovative leader who is revolutionizing three industries at once: space, automotive, and energy. There are few people in history who could match Elon Musks relentless drive and vision. A modern combination of famous inventors and industrialists like Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and Steve Jobs, Elon is the man behind companies such as SpaceX, Tesla Motors, SolarCity, and PayPal that are transforming the way we live. Written with exclusive access to Elon, his family, and his friends, this book traces Elons journey from a kid in South Africa to a young man in the United States, his dramatic technical inventions, and his world-changing companies. Elon has sparked new levels of innovation in the world, and this book gives young readers a detailed but fast-paced look at his story.

5 hours later...I finished up the audiobook I was making so my students could listen to the chapters if they wanted/needed while distance learning! This book was pretty interesting, and I‘m not typically a non-fiction person.

And we are back at it. Downgrading myself to young adult, since I haven't been able to focus or get myself through one book since starting my new job. #adultingishard

I am reading the young adult version of this book. The sentence structure leaves something to be desired, but the author has included a great amount of detail and I love that Elon has given his blessing and helped to clarify events. If giving this book to kids, it would be wise to ensure they are fluent readers first.
