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 third book, Meta uses her magic snapping power to switch off gravity and when switching it back on, she inadvertedly doubles it in power. They also travel to the see side to watch the tide – and in the end, they feel the pulling powers – not of gravity – but Meta’s mum’s 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)
