'Frightening Light!
Are you burning to know:-

What stops your eyeballs from falling out?
Why dead bodies can make glowing lights?
How a laser beam can sizzle human flesh?

If you think you can stomach the `sick' side of Science, then read on as we put some illuminating facts under the spotlight.
Find out how eclipses turn day into night, why rattlesnakes could still find you in the dark and what makes your legs look bendy in the swimming pool!

With fantastic fact files and curious quizzes, teacher tests and crazy cartoons, 'Frightening Light' is blazing with info!'

155 pages, written in a variety of fonts in the usual Nick Arnold entertaining style.

Black and white illustrations/cartoons throughout, as well as 'Bet you never knew' fact-boxes, e.g.:-

'Your pupils widen to let in more light in dark conditions. The word 'pupil' comes from the Latin word for 'little girl'. Look at you reflection in a mirror and you'll see a tiny reflection of yourself in your pupil. Sorry boys, the ancient Romans thought this looked like a little girl.'

Science has never been so horrible!
