Manning introduces a captivating adventure where a science experiment gone awry thrusts young neighbours David Patel and Marta Martinez into the Micro Universe—an entirely new realm where the familiar laws of physics are defied! This vibrant graphic novel is an ideal read for fans of science fiction and adventure.

When fifth grader David Patel and his second-grade companion Marta Martinez stumble upon a science experiment gone wrong, they find themselves transported to the Micro Universe, an intriguing world existing within our own that disregards conventional physics. With the help of a peculiar creature named Spark, they manage to return home, unaware that they've inadvertently brought a band of sinister beings known as Negatrons back to our world.

Featuring 18 interactive do-it-yourself science experiments, readers can engage with at home, David, Marta, and Spark must defend their small town from the incursion of these energy-draining Negatrons, all while discovering how to ignite their own imaginations. This graphic novel is perfect for children keen on hands-on activities and enthralling science fiction tales!
