  • An Excellent Encyclopedia of Your Senses

    £25.00

    Everyone knows you have just five senses, right? Think again! From sensing temperature to keeping your balance – even knowing when you need to pee – your body is constantly sending messages to your brain about the world inside and around you. Full of quirky and colourful illustrations and cutting-edge science, this book reveals how these messages are created, how your brain processes them, and how you can explore them through fun experiments and challenges, either on your own or with friends. What is a ‘sense’? What happens when you mix them together – or pull them apart? What amazing things can animals sense that we can’t? Discover how sound can change how things taste, what part your culture plays in the way you literally see the world, and how in turn your personality, thoughts, and relationships are shaped by the way you perceive your surroundings.

  • Dexter Procter

    £8.99

    It was clear from an early age that Dexter Procter was different. He started speaking at four seconds old. By the age of three, he had 87 A-levels, from Afrikaans to Zoology. And by ten, he was working as a paediatrician at Lilydale General Hospital. Despite a loving but annoying family and a couple of good friends (Rupi and Otto), Dexter’s always struggled to fit in. Add to this a mortal enemy (Dr Drake) and a major problem at his old school (all the teachers struck down with awful diarrhoea) – will Dexter be able to save his job, save the school and find his place in the world? (Spoiler alert: yes!).
