"Prepare for mind-blowing science with this collection of random, revolting and ridiculous facts. If you want to know what the centre of the Milky Way might taste like, this is for you."

Featuring scientific explanations and experiments, it takes young readers on an enlightening and descriptive journey with humour and entertaining illustrations. It might be aimed at kids but don't be surprised if adults can't put it down either."
