A fresh and funny guide to chemistry using real-life experiments, from TikTok's coolest scientist.

Alright BOOM, Big Manny is here to show you how you can become a real-life scientist and create awesome experiments at home using ordinary ingredients.

We'll learn some basic (and not-so-basic) chemistry tings - from combustion to chromatography (chroma-what-now?).

We'll meet the amazing elements that each have their own personalities - from fiery hydrogen to the main man oxygen.

And we'll create explosive reactions - from fizzing lava lamps to dish soap volcanoes!

Let's start experimenting and find out why Science is Lit, innit.

Written by TikTok science sensation Big Manny, this is the perfect book to inspire young scientists aged 8-12.
