Description

With Science Comics, you can explore the depths of the ocean, the farthest reaches of space, and everything in between! These gorgeously illustrated graphic novels offer wildly entertaining views of their subjects.

In this volume, get up close and personal with Earth's nearest neighbors--Venus with its acid rainstorms, Saturn and its rings of ice, and the heart of it all, the Sun. Humans have always been fascinated by outer space and we're learning more about our solar system every day. Did you know that our Solar System was born from a cloud of cosmic dust? That Jupiter's red spot is really a raging storm? Join Sara, Jill, and their space-faring pets on a quest to learn more about the wonders of our Solar System--and beyond!

Editorial Reviews

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 Science Comics: Solar System:

"Through a bubbly plot and charming graphic-novel illustrations, author Mosco and illustrator Chad (with colorist Healy) create a world in which learning really is fun and even the faraway Pluto comes within reach...An anything-but-boring introduction to the beautiful mysteries of the universe."--Kirkus

"A story line infused with humor and drama adds particular animation to this entry in the "Science Comics" series; budding astro-tourists in middle elementary grades will happily sign up for repeat journeys.-School Library Journal, starred review.

Rosemary Mosco is a science writer and artist, and she's passionate about sharing her love for the natural world. She writes and draws the science webcomic Bird and Moon and made the urban nature webcomic Your Wild City in collaboration with fellow First Second author Maris Wicks. If she could explore any place in the solar system, she would travel to Jupiter's moon Europa. Science Comics: Solar System is her first graphic novel with First Second.
