If you think you can stomach the sick side of science, then come hunting for the cruellest creatures of them all!

With freaky fact files, cool quizzes and crazy cartoons, it’s a book to sink your teeth into! Science has never been so horrible!

Blood, Bones and Body Bits

Bleeurrgh! Blood, bones, brains and body bits. A bone-chilling book of bodies to make you squeal! Peek inside to discover all the squishy secrets of your body – especially the nasty and disgusting bits your teacher was too squeamish to explain! That’s why they call this HORRIBLE science! Find out what happens when a boil bursts. See which mini-beasts live inside your eyelashes. Find out where your dinner goes after you eat it. And – aaaaargggh! – discover why corpses need haircuts even after they’re dead. Warning! It’s NOT for the nervous!

Bulging Brains

It looks like a huge grey bogey or something you’d step in by mistake – but your incredible brain holds all your knowledge, dreams and feelings. Even if your teacher won’t admit it, it’s amazing! Find out how it works – and what it smells like – here! You’ll see:

  • what happens if you cut your brain in half
  • what your brain bits ‘n’ pieces do
  • how to do your own brilliant brain surgery
  • why it’s clever to feel pain
  • how to tame an angry teacher
  • whether boys or girls are smarter (have a guess!)

With cool quizzes, terrible tests and ALL the squishy bits, this book will scramble your brains!

Chemical Chaos

Chemistry. It’s the most horrible part of science. The part that’s most likely to make you say “UGH.” Chemistry can cause chaos in your brain. Even your teacher knows it! But let’s forget the fiendish formulas for now, and take a look at the nasty bits you REALLY want to know about – the nasty bubbling green mixtures, the vile and poisonous potions, the horrible smells, bangs and blasts. Discover:

  • how the first chemists – “alchemists” – really searched for the Philosopher’s Stone
  • what suspect substances lurk in your school dinner
  • the sickening stench of the world’s worst stink bomb
  • which cruel chemical gases killed soldiers in the war
  • how rotten reactions can blow you away
  • which awful acids will eat you alive

Flash a formula. Wave a test-tube. Potions bubble. Things go bang! It’s not magic. You’re not at Hogwarts. You’ve just read Chemical Chaos!

Deadly Diseases

If you can stomach the sick side of science, you’ve come to the right place. The book that coughs up all the disgusting details of the squelchiest sicknesses that mankind has suffered through: Deadly Diseases. If your boring biology class is the most deadly thing that’s ever happened to you, it’s time to see how much worse things can get. From the cruel common cold to shocking smallpox, see what happens when your body is attacked by germs! You’ll find out:

  • which nutty nurse drank diarrhoea
  • which scientist used eyeballs as food for bacteria
  • why deadly cholera makes your skin turn blue
  • how munching maggots can cure flesh diseases
  • why you should never pick your nose and eat it!

With sickening sick notes, dreadful disease facts, and lots of vicious viruses to make you vomit, it’ll leave you gagging for more!

Digusting Digestion

It’s stinky. It’s smelly. It’s gooey and disgusting. Yes – if you can stomach the sick side of science, then take an icky look inside your stomach! Well, into your icky squishy innards, that is, where we’ll be dishing the dirt on your digestive system and all the other bits that are much too rude to mention here. So hold your breath and get ready to discover:

  • which people used to eat their dead relatives
  • how your food can painfully poison you
  • the unsavoury case of Typhoid Mary’s killer ice-cream
  • what mysterious minerals are found in your school dinner (honest!)

  • why astronauts are banned from eating beans

So get inside your gruesome guts and their grisly secrets. Just be warned: it’s sick!

Evolve or Die

Do you think your relatives are revolting? Well, never mind your wrinkly gran and your embarrassing aunts and uncles. In this book, you’ll meet some revolting relatives you never knew you had – the slimy life forms that crawled out of the primordial sludge of Earth’s ancient seas! We can trace all living things on earth back to those squishy creatures – but why are we still here when other creatures have vanished forever? It’s because we learned to evolve – or die!

So dip into this book to discover:

  • how a cauliflower really is a mutant
  • why you are a slave to your DNA
  • what fantastic fossils and petrified poo look like
  • what a “living fossil” is (no, not your gran!)
  • what dinosaur farts were like (would you survive them?)
  • why just talking about evolution could wipe you out

From dinosaurs to dodos, monkeys to men, find out why we’re still here – and why some of them are not! It’s the sickening science of survival. Will you survive the excitement?

Fatal Forces

Physics lessons can be fatally boring. It’s true! But if you’re struggling to stay conscious while your teacher forces yet another dull lesson down your throat, you’re about to get a massive shock!! Because those boring forces they’re droning on about create tons of deadly dramas and horrible happenings. Now, I bet your teacher didn’t tell you that!

Just read this horrid book to find out:

  • how gravity can make you lose your head
  • how a lamp post can wallop you
  • what makes your fillings explode
  • how your ears stop you from falling off your bike
  • how to hit Terminal Velocity. Eeek!!

Now your teacher won’t have to force you to learn! After all, why have boring science when you can have Horrible Science?

The Fight  for Flight

Humans aren’t designed to fly. That’s why the first people to try it came to a very sticky end! (And that’s why this is a Horrible Science book!) But after centuries of death-defying stunts, blood-curdling blunders and fearsome flops, people have finally taken to the skies!
