About Elemental Heroes: Hydrogen Showdown

Film and TV producer Chrissy Metge and bestselling author Karen McMillan, team up to write an exciting new children’s book series, that brings fun and science together in a child-friendly way that will engage young imaginations.

Queen Gold has requested help from the world leaders to stop the unrest that is happening in Elemental Land. Twins Sophie and Joey are chosen for this mission that will take them into the dangerous world where the elements, such as gold, iron, neon and sulphur, live.

Hydro, the leader of the hydrogens, wants to invade the human world to blow things up. The hydrogens love to blow themselves up in Elemental Land, and they can do this over and over. Can Sophie and Joey stop Hydro’s dastardly plans for humanity? Joey has the knowledge, Sophie has impressive powers of deduction, and their sword-fighting skills are exceptional. But will this be enough against exploding hydrogens?

An action-packed, imaginative read that brings the world of everyday elements wonderfully to life! Perfect for children 7 to 12 years.

Praise:

‘Kids learn best when they learn by osmosis (without realising) or, in this case, by explosion! This is a wonderful melding of words, worlds and science.’ Suzy Cato, children’s entertainer
