The Pluto Files is the story of Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson who found himself in the center of controversy of what to define Pluto. Dr. Tyson gives the history of Pluto from the beginning of discovery to present day (published in 2009). He doesn't just dive into the science but the culture and America's possible personal attachment to this icy rock. If you aren't a science, math type person that's okay because Dr. Tyson has a way of breaking down difficult concepts and making it easy to follow along.
The Pluto Files, with the addition of photographs, cartoons, song lyrics, quotes, and children's letters, is a fun, humorous, quick read.
