Description
Fried is packed full of amazing facts about lightning, from the deadly power that allows lightning to start a forest fire to weird lightning that leaps from cloud to cloud. Most amazing of all are the people who survive thousands of volts zapping through their bodies in a lightning strike. From Surfing to the Secret Life of Rats, the Extreme series will excite and inspire 8 to 11 year olds. High-interest topics grab the reader and introduce key science concepts in an accessible and innovative way. The action-packed pages are designed to motivate struggling and reluctant readers, and a reading age of 7 makes the content super-accessible. Extreme titles are ideal for supporting creative classroom teaching and for spicing up topic libraries.
