About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking 'why' about every gadget in the house or expresses a fascination with the slightly grosser side of science. This installment of the Horrible Science series transforms complex physics into a high energy adventure filled with quirky illustrations and dark humor. It is perfect for reluctant readers who prefer facts over fiction but find traditional textbooks dry and boring. Beyond the mechanics of circuits and currents, the book explores the perseverance of eccentric historical scientists and the incredible biological electricity found in the human body and animal kingdom. While the tone is irreverent and focuses on 'shocking' details, it is educational and age-appropriate for middle grade readers. It is an ideal choice for sparking a genuine love for STEM through laughter and curiosity.
