Editorial Reviews

With a special blend of graphic-novel art, conversational text, and sight gags with goofy monsters, this Monster Science book uses an undead cast for lessons on atoms, currents, static electricity, circuits, and more. And with zombies electrocuted on almost every page (“Flesh is a good conductor of electricity”), many nontraditional readers and learners will appreciate this unusual presentation.
