Product Description Join Max Axiom on a dynamic adventure into CHEMICAL REACTIONS! In this action-packed graphic novel, the world’s greatest Super Scientist uses high-tech gadgets to learn how fireworks explode, fireflies flash, and foods ferment. Through comic-book style art, this Super Scientist transforms science topics, like chemistry and biology, into superpowered adventures! Perfect for science fans and comic book fans alike. Review I'm in love - or, better yet, my son is in love! We've had the opportunity to review graphic science books on all sorts of topics that are fun and easy to read. Comic book style science sounds really fluffy doesn't it? Believe it or not, the Max Axiom series is full of "real" science that goes deep enough to be appropriate for any upper elementary/early middle school child. My son is a less-than-zealous textbook reader. (Picture eyes glazing over and giant yawns.) After reading - or being read to - from a textbook, he recalls very little of the information. Over the years, I've turned science into hands-on unit studies and supplemented with lots of library books, which has worked quite well. During one of these unit study times, I came across Max Axiom and wanted to know more. I found that Capstone Press offers many, many Max Axiom books, and boy were my son and I excited! Twenty-four books total cover the areas of biology/botany, chemistry, physical and earth science. In each book, Max Axiom (a scientist with super powers), goes on an adventure to learn all about the topic at hand. He can shrink to the size of bacteria and whiz through the human body, or go back in time to learn more about a famous scientist of the past. All of this in a 32 page comic book! (When I say comic book, don't think of flimsy pages, these are "real" books.) http: //thecurriculumchoice.com/2011/07/max-axiom-graphic-science-books/-- "Curriculum Choice blog"Reason for Reading: I am a huge fan of Capstone books which publishes worry-free content, easy reader graphic novels and chapter books with graded reading levels. My reading challenged son has used their books to improve his reading skills and has enjoyed almost all the books, even on the small occasions when I don't. The Dynamic World of Chemical Reactions by Agnieszka Biskup. Illustrated by Cynthia Martin & Barbara Schulz. 32 pages. Ages 8+. Aug. 1, 2010. This is a non-fiction graphic title with no pretense at a story or plot. Scientist Max Axiom, who has super powers, welcomes us to his lab and starts telling us about chemical reactions. I've only had one year of chemistry myself and found the information to be quite detailed at that level. It is presented in a fun and thorough way through text and graphics. Max stays in his lab for the most part, but he also takes us over to a chemist friend of his for more information and then he jumps around town to show chemical reactions at work in real life. Max has several super abilities but we only see two of these in action in this book, his lab coat allows his to travel through time and space, here he travels around space, and he has the ability to shrink down to microscopic size. There are fact boxes every now and then telling more information on a certain topic, a page at the end that lists various information about the topic and the book has an index. An enjoyable and interesting concept for a hi-low reader that imparts a nice dose of science. The book will be most appreciated for use in the classroom or for readers who already have an interest in the subject matter. Reading Level Gr. 3-4. Interest Level Gr. 3-9. Rating: 3/5 The Whirlwind World of Hurricanes by Katherine Krohn. Illustrated by Cynthia Martin & Al Milgrom. 32 pages. Ages 8+. Aug. 1, 2010. This is a pure non-fiction graphic title. We enter Super Scientist, Max Axiom's lab where he proceeds to tell us about hurricanes. Though Max does have several super abilities such as x-ray vision and shrinking to the size of atoms, he does not use an
