What is leaking from Uranus? How hard is it to hijack a UFO? And what happened to Lord Slayer Omega Freeze-dried Hell Flux? Uncover the truth in this madcap STEM-meets-adventure graphic novel.
Ultra Violet: Escape from Uranus is a blend of laugh-out-loud chaos and real science.
You will need:
- a talking hermit crab (Leonardo da Pinchi)
- a backfiring Butt Blaster (invented by Violet - see below).
- Violet Butt (she can science her way out of anything)(even an alien invasion).
- UFOs, a best friend, a spaceship with a toastie-maker, a pair of uber-cool safety glasses
Ultra Violet is an ideal recommendation for
- reluctant readers who love facts and science
- keen readers who love Dog Man and InvestiGators
- anyone who wants to know what's really inside Uranus.
"Uranus is a fascinating place, and an amazing opportunity to combine absolutely ruthless pun-making with science, adventure, friendship and fun. And also beans. Working with Rebel Challenger has been amazing. Kids are going to eat this up." --Cristy Burne
"Girls in space and STEM? Yes please! This book is one of the best looking graphic novels I've seen and it's packed with fun and fun facts!" --Dani Vee

Cristy Burne balanced precariously on the intersection of story, science, technology and creativity, creating havoc and enthusiasm wherever she goes. Cristy has degrees in biotechnology and science communication and loves all things science and STEAM. She has worked as a garbage analyst and a science circus performer, and once, (a long time ago) she (accidentally) exploded sewage on her neighbors.
Rebel Challenger is an artist and wildlife carer with a science degree from the time when she wanted to be a park ranger. Alas, the call to color in was too strong, so now Rebel spends her days designing and drawing, while also continuing to care for animals. She is the illustrator of
Keeping Up with the Dachsunds and
Mozzies vs. Flies.
