Gedanken has a science project due for school so she goes to her Uncle Albert for help. He informs her of an experiment he has been working on and this new thing he has discovered, a thought bubble, where experiments can be conducted that can't be done on Earth. She agrees to go into the thought bubble to chase a light beam and try to catch one. She can't but they do learn a few things from her first attempt and several more attempts are made as they discover strange things with each experiment. She is finally able to complete her project which earns her a good grade.
In reality, Uncle Albert is Albert Einstein and this book is exploring his Special Theory of Relativity in an easier to understand way. I'm definitely a fan of the way it was presented and have gotten the other books in the series for my youngest although I look forward to reading them as well. A nice, gentle introduction to relativity for the young or old.
