Description
The first book in a new puzzle adventure series takes readers on a thrilling adventure in the company of Knutz, a STEAM whizz-kid, and canine super-inventor Boltz.
Knutz and Boltz and the Sorcerer of Science introduces Knutz and Boltz as they await a live stream of their favourite vlogger, the Sorcerer of Science, who performs experiments for her legions of fans. But today, a strange figure has taken over her feed. He introduces himself as Dr Chaos and claims he’s taken the Sorcerer prisoner. Knutz and Boltz will have to use all their STEAM skills to tackle the fiendish challenges in the Mansion of Mayhem in order to save the Sorcerer and defeat Dr Chaos!
Featuring an innovative mix of graphic-novel pages, zany prose, and integrated puzzles, this fast-paced adventure is guaranteed to engage kids aged 9+ in STEAM subjects. Across six chapters, readers will develop key science, technology, engineering, art, and maths skills as they help Knutz and Boltz work their way through the challenges.
Written by Tim Collins, author of Buster’s Dorkius Maximus and Sherlock Bones series, illustrated by Louise Forshaw, and developed with a specialist STEAM consultant.
