Synopsis

This series uses cartoon-style illustrations and humorous narrative text to make key topics in Science and Geography accessible and engaging. This approach encourages children to read about and understand complex ideas. This story follows astronaut Zac on his first trip into space. There he experiences what life is like without the pulling force of gravity - what it's like to move, eat, sleep and go to the toilet! This book also contains an experiment, useful websites and an index.
