Knutz and Boltz and the Sorcerer of Science
This puzzle adventure book guides readers through a series of STEAM themed challenges with a fun, entertaining story. Knutz, a STEAM whizz kid and best friend Boltz, a talking dog who is also an incredible inventor, are horrified when their favourite online personality, the Sorcerer of Science is taken prisoner by Dr Chaos during a livestream. Knutz and Boltz take on the task of rescuing her and in doing so are faced with a series of puzzles and challenges as they work their way through the Mansion of Mayhem.
This story is busy and exciting with lots of references to gadgets and technology that young readers will recognise and relate to. The characters are funny and charming; Knutz is quick and smart, but can also get nervous at times, while Boltz is a brilliant inventor but isn’t always that patient when cats are around!
Illustrated throughout with cartoon characters, science settings and fun details to enjoy, this innovative book is jam-packed with integrated puzzle activities on the topic of science, technology, engineering and maths. The puzzles, along with the comic pages, illustrations and a fast-paced story are a fun and interesting way for young readers to learn these concepts without it feeling like homework.
The book is the first in a series, so fans of it will be pleased that they can continue to read more adventures with Knutz and Boltz when they have solved this one.
