Join a group of four kid detectives and help them find out about STEM while developing problem-solving, observation and deduction, and investigation skills.

Our Kid Detectives Isla, Farah, Sam and Mohammad are visiting the local TV studio when their favourite band arrives to promote their upcoming concert! The extreme weather prediction comes in at the same time โ€“ it looks like a hurricane is approaching. The studio is hesitant to run the story โ€“ but why?

Join the detective gang as they investigate the impact of hurricanes and climate change, and work to ensure people are warned in time. Can the Kid Detectives save the day?

Featured interactive elements:

  • Looking for clues in the illustrations
  • Tracking the path of a hurricane
  • Spotting the incorrect items in an emergency kit
  • Gathering crucial information from panels about weather, meteorologists, and climate change

Through interactive adventures that combine facts, brain-teasing puzzles, and lively illustrations, Kid Detectives: The Perilous Problem of the Howling Hurricane imparts STEM knowledge in an original way to inspire a love of the subject. The story will have the reader solving puzzles, finding clues, cracking secret codes, and uncovering mysteries.

Perfect for aspiring detectives aged 7+.
