Soap Bubbles – Nova Franklin and the Crazy Bubbles

Nova Franklin, a young inventor, is testing her magical soap bubbles, which can shrink anything they touch.

But outside, a fierce storm rages, and when a gust of wind suddenly blows open the window, Nova and her cat Emilio are shrunk to tiny size and whisked away on an adventurous journey: down into the city’s dark water pipes, along rushing rivers, out into the open sea, up into the clouds, through icy mountain valleys, and on to hidden underground lakes.

And get ready for the next book in the series, another adventure in the city that belongs to both her and us.

Nova Franklin and the Crazy Bubbles is the first book in a series that, with imagination and fun, takes children on a journey to discover how the world around us works. Where does the water in the tap come from? What is the light that turns on with a click? Where does electricity come from? Where does our trash go? How are houses built?

Join Nova on an adventure and see your world with completely new eyes!

Ages 4 to 9 – a perfect picture book for reading aloud, sparking conversation, and exploring the world together, both at home and at school.
