Meet the Invisibles: From Gravity and Gas to Bacteria and Bugs

From the tiny organisms thriving all around us to the invisible energy waves sending signals to our gadgets, the world is brimming with activity that we can’t see.

Some really small things can only be seen with the most powerful microscopes, while other things are just plain invisible. Did you know that hawks use ultraviolet light – invisible to humans – to see trails of wee left by mice so that they can find their next meal? Or that invisible magnetic fields are so strong they can suspend a frog in mid-air? Find out about the invisible worlds all around us, from tiny germs and bacteria to gases and gravity.

Hear directly from a flea, a grain of rice, an amoeba, a gas-filled balloon and loads of other first-person narrators as they guide you through an incredible world that you can’t even see. Each comic page is packed with fascinating facts and big laughs, and there’s a handy glossary at the back to help with any tricky science terms.

Written in Mike Barfield’s hilarious, educational style and accompanied by Jess Bradley’s quirky and colourful comic-strip illustrations, Meet the Invisibles invites curious readers to marvel at the huge powers behind the tiniest phenomena. So pick up your magnifying glass and dive into a tiny world of microbes, atoms, radiation, microbiology and other fascinating science facts for children.
