Agent 00-Gravity is back, and this time, he's racing against the clock. Literally.
When the maniacal Dr. Photon steals the experimental Tachyon Drive, he plans to break the universal speed limit. It's up to Barnaby Bumblespace to catch him. There's just one problem: Barnaby failed physics class.
Now, aboard the super-fast Star-Tripper, Barnaby is moving so fast that his shadow can't keep up, his watch is going backward, and he might accidentally turn into a toddler if he hits the brakes too hard.
In this high-speed STEM adventure, kids aged 7-13 will learn:
- The basics of Einstein's Theory of Relativity (explained simply!).
- What Time Dilation is and why moving fast changes time.
- Why you can never actually reach the Speed of Light (even if you really try).
Packed with chase scenes, exploding gadgets, and hilarious mistakes, Faster Than My Shadow proves that while light is fast, Barnaby's bad luck is faster.
Perfect for reluctant readers and future scientists. Scroll up and click Buy Now to join the chase!
