"The Library of Planets: Jupiter" by Abby Young is a look at the largest planet in the solar system and many of the missions to investigate this interesting giant.
The book is a little dated now as it was written before Pluto was named a dwarf planet. In addition there is a good amount of talk about the definition of a moon.
I would have been happier to see the probes themselves that visited this great planet. The evolution of technology is fascinating to me, but then this was not the topic of the book.
Overall this was a great little science book that had so much to say about our largest solar companion that is not a star. I found it informative and entertaining.
Who should read this book? Space Lovers like me.
