SHORTLISTED FOR THE LAUGH OUT LOUD BOOK AWARDS (LOLLIES) 2025

Comic Strip Physics makes learning about the science behind forces, energy and simple machines fun! Perfect for kids aged 8 and up who love cartoons, crazy experiments, and asking "how does that work?"

Who says humans cannot fly? Human cannonballs definitely can. Unfortunately, though., a pair of forces soon drags them back to Earth. Meanwhile, find out why Dave is really not keen on powerful magnets and how a torch can beat a supercar in a race. Each page features a funny comic story that explains a cool physics idea, with extra diagrams and panels to help further exploration.

The illustrator, Jess Bradley, is winner of the 2021 Blue Peter Award for Best Non-Fiction for A Day in the Life of a Poo, Gnu and You and also writes and draws for The Phoenix Comic.

Other titles in the series: Biology, Chemistry, Earth and Space, The Periodic Table

About the Author

Paul Mason (Author)

Paul writes in a shack by the beach, which he shares with his one-eyed surf dog, Daisy.
