These gorgeously illustrated graphic novels offer wildly entertaining views of their subjects. Whether you’re a 4th grader doing a natural science unit at school or a thirty-year-old with a secret passion for airplanes, these books are for you!This volume: In VOLCANOES, we explore these exciting and explosive vents in the Earth’s surface. Along the way readers will learn about lava, tectonic plates, islands and other land masses generated by volcanoes, famous volcanoes, and famous eruptions.

Critics Review
Praise for the Science Comics series:
“This series–written by a handful of authors–seems determined to offer a useful introduction to anything a curious grade-school student might wonder about. The insight behind these books is a powerful one. So much information about the world around us is actually better conveyed visually, through charts, illustrations, and sequential panels, than purely using words.” –New York Times
“Like having a Time Life Science Library in comic books. Which is awesome!” –Popular Science, praise for the Science Comics Series
Praise for Science Comics: Volcanoes:
“Chad’s well-drawn and clearly labeled diagrams in rich, saturated colors concisely explain key concepts, and vocabulary words are defined both in the text and a glossary. While the stylized cartoon figures and adventure narrative are an entertaining framework, the science fittingly occupies the center stage.” –Booklist
“The artwork is bold and engaging, cleverly intertwining the science and the more fantastical elements of the narrative.”– School Library Journal
