In 17th-century England, a scientific revolution is under way. This interactive series will enthrall young and reluctant readers (Ages 8-12) by making them part of the story, inviting them to become the main character. Each book uses humorous illustrations to depict the sometimes dark and horrific side of life during important eras in history. Scholars are pushing back the boundaries of mathematics and unlocking the secrets of the universe. And the greatest of them all is Isaac Newton-a secretive, obsessive man with few friends, who is destined to change for ever the way we look at the world.
