      Hi, DD had bought a few ‘Sir Fong’s Adventures in Science’ during the school bookfair this year and seems that she like them and see her read a few times.

        Hi Champion,

        I think Horrible Science series appeals to students that have intense interest in this area. These books are readily available from NLB. It is better to find out if your child really will want to read it before purchasing the whole set. My child reads selected titles only; eg he only likes Energy (lightning etc)related topics, but not UFOs and Chemical etc topics.

          Hi Brenda,
          Is this series more suitable for upper primary students? I saw copies of it in NLB and they seemed a bit too chem (at least for me).

                Hi teh_oh

                I think should be suitable for upper primary since these books were sold at the school bookfair. One of the book is about \"cell\" which was primary 5 topics.

                      Heyya Champion, i was contemplating to get a box myself.

                      My girls love the Young Scientist magazines we subscribe
                      to, hence thought of an upgrade. I had to grit my teeth
                      when i saw quite a cheap box for sale sometime back
                      at a push cart promo somewhere (cannot remember)
                      but i saw the price was $98 for one box. Since i
                      have yet to test market (whether the response
                      from the girls would be encouraging or not.. :P)
                      i decided not to get it tho' i thought it seemed
                      kinda cheap at that time. 😢

                        The horrible series can be found in the non-friction section of the library. They have horrible science series, horrible geography and horrible history series. My ds1 loves to read all horrible series books. These books are not placed under one auther's name. They are placed on different shelves based on their titles. Try looking under the history, science and geography shelves. I always look through all the non-friction shelves in the library to look for these horrible series books.
