Travel with mischievous cartoon guides The Brainwaves through a range of wittily-explained STEM topics

Meet the Brainwaves, hilarious little mischief-makers who will be your guides to a marvellous range of mindblowing science topics - from the wisest and wackiest inventions the world has ever seen to the adventures of pioneering astronauts, plus all the core information you need to know, such as the periodic table, energy, forces, and matter.

These pint-sized pals will jump aboard the invention of the car, take you on a madcap holiday to Mars and outer space, and will even shrink down to atomic level to explore the most basic building blocks of science. Through their zany antics, readers can take a fantastical foray into a range of fields, learning about science, space, and discovering more than 300 inventions.

Each exciting illustrated adventure is packed with amazing facts and core information to learn about - from why gravity sucks to how the Industrial Revolution was powered. With a host of colourful characters offering entertaining insights on each subject, the Brainwaves will both delight your eyes and broaden your knowledge.
