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 fourth book, Max and Meta travel both back and forward in time. They meet dangerous dinosaurs and rescue a small girl from getting run over. Who is this girl? Her name is Josephine, just like Meta's mum. That's odd and also a bit scary. But luckily everything ends well - and the ending involves cake.

Reviews

"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)

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