It’s ‘Where science meets adventure’. It’s not a science book, it is a children’s adventure novel which has science in it.’ Five pupils (each with particular gifts) are thrust into a fight for survival and exploration that opens up the beauty and wonder of nature, science and the universe.Xientifica SOS inspires children to look at the world with fresh eyes and curious minds.
