Synopsis

Max and Meta explore the natural world around them with curiosity. Meta has a magic power: when she snaps her fingers, she can transport her and her friend, Max, to new places. In this fifth book, our two heroes (and the philosophical fly) examine the smallest building blocks of nature, the atoms. As usual, this is done with a good mix of imagination, magic and silly ideas. Max and Meta themselves turn into the atoms of a water molecule and meet Niels Bohr himself, who helps them understand what atoms are and how they are built.

Reviews

"A wonderful new series, which merges fiction and non-fiction and presents scientific phenomena in an inspiring and curious way." – (School Start Magazine (Skolestart)

"The cartoon style and the topic conveyed through the dialogue between Max and Meta work in a compelling way. The level is accessible, and the few cherry-picked facts, wrapped in a funny story, work as a lever to further literature on the topic." – (Library Review (Lektørudtalelse)
