Science meets magic in this STEM-packed, funny new chapter book series, starring Izzy the Inventor and a lovable unicorn.

Meet Izzy the Inventor in a laugh-out-loud fiction series that brings together science, magic, and a very lovable unicorn. Packed full of illustrations and easy-to-read text, this series is perfect for beginner readers and fans of Isadora Moon and the Kitty books.

Henry the unicorn is trapped in a tall tower in Fairytale Land, and it's up to Izzy to save him. She's come with all her latest inventions—water balloons, catapults, musical instruments—but this time, her inventions alone can't save Henry. She's going to have to learn how to travel through time with the help of a bad-tempered gnome!

Every book contains ideas for science experiments and a QR code with links for more to try at home.
