About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking complex questions about the machines they see in the park or on the news, or if they have a budding interest in engineering and robotics. It is the perfect bridge for a tech-obsessed middle-schooler who has moved beyond simple picture books and wants the 'real' story behind how modern technology functions. Eyes in the Sky offers a comprehensive look at drone technology, covering everything from the early history of unmanned aerial vehicles to their modern applications in photography, delivery, and conservation. It balances technical explanations with a sense of wonder about future possibilities, making it an excellent choice for building both STEM vocabulary and critical thinking skills regarding how technology shapes our world. The tone is encouraging and informative, geared perfectly for the 9 to 14 age bracket.

The book remains largely secular and objective. While it briefly touches upon the origins of drones in military contexts, it does so through a historical lens rather than a graphic or political one. The approach is direct and factual.
