Oliver's Great Big Universe : the laugh-out-loud new illustrated series about school, space and everything in between!

‘Mind-expanding and hilarious!’ Jeff Kinney, author of the bestselling DIARY OF A WIMPY KID series. This hilarious new illustrated series will make you laugh-out-loud AND grow your brain.

Perfect for readers age 8+ and fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and The 13-Storey Treehouse. Hi, I’m Oliver! I know what you’re thinking: what does an 11-year-old kid know about the universe?

Am I a famous scientist? No. Am I a super-genius? Not really.  I’m just trying to figure out the usual stuff: new school, new friends, how to avoid my annoying sister.

But there’s one thing that DOES make sense: science!

Outer space is totally my thing and I can tell you EVERYTHING you need to know about awesome stuff like:  time-bending black holes  how the Big Bang is like a fart  aliens! (Well, there could be aliens.) From bestselling writer and robotics engineer Jorge Cham, Oliver’s Great Big Universe is the first book in a STEM-themed, diary-style series.  ‘An absolute gem!’ Lincoln Peirce, author of the bestselling series BIG NATE. ‘A stellar confluence of comic episodes and cosmic information.

In addition to brilliantly integrated comic moments – surprising plot twists add narrative pizzazz to a serious raft of data about the universe.

An irresistibly entertaining introduction to astrophysics.’ – Kirkus starred review ?
