I personally love the Darwin book written by Alice McGinty. It'chocked full of information, and the tidbits from his journals are just amazing. The illustrations are beautiful, too.
Brian Floca is so good at getting information into the picture book format. This makes the book accessible to both older and younger readers. Great list!
Almost Astronauts was fascinating. I wonder, though, if it didn't fall too strongly on the side of the women who weren't allowed to be astronauts. Did we get a fair representation of the controversy, or one that pushed us to see NASA and co. as purely wrong?
