Book Description

October 18, 2007
Adam is having a miserable day. First, he causes his team to lose the soccer game, and then he gets teased for being the shortest boy in the fifth grade. Just when Adam thinks nothing else can possibly go wrong, Mrs. Gold, his rather peculiar science teacher, makes him stay behind after class. Adam’s day goes from bad to just plain weird when Mrs. Gold shares with him a startling secret: she’s much more than a science teacher—Mrs. Gold is a powerful alchemist who’s counting on Adam’s help to save the world!

Mrs. Gold has chosen Adam, one of her best students, for a critical task. She plans to shrink Adam down to the microscopic size of a single atom and send him to the Periodic School for the Elements to search for Ollie, a missing atom of oxygen. Without Ollie, the planet’s supply of oxygen will vanish. As Mrs. Gold produces the philosopher’s stone, the secret magical tool of alchemists, Adam is suddenly thrust into the bizarre and treacherous realm of chemical elements. He must take advantage of his scientific knowledge to find Ollie before it’s too late.

Join Adam on a fascinating journey filled with fun and fantasy as he fights to defend the world from elemental disaster in Adam’s Atomic Adventures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very entertaining story that engages kids with complex concepts!, December 9, 2007

This review is from: Adam’s Atomic Adventures (Paperback)
As an educator, I'm fortunate to have stumbled upon Adams Atomic Adventures. Rarely in my experience does a children's book present challenging and intricate scientific concepts in such an entertaining way. Adam's Adventures are perfect for a curious student or a parent looking to introduce general science or chemistry to their children. I highly recommend Adams Atomic Adventures for the home or the classroom.

This review is from: Adam’s Atomic Adventures (Paperback)
I am 7 and 3/4s years old. Its a great book. You should get it. I found it easy to read and I learned a lot. My grandmother bought it for me and she is typing this for me. P.S. You should especially get this book if you know someone that likes chemistry.

5.0 out of 5 stars My grandchildren loved it!, May 10, 2008
By 
M. Henning (Glen Ellyn, IL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Adam’s Atomic Adventures (Paperback)
My grandchildren, ages 8 and 9, loved reading about Adam and his adventures with atoms and elements. My granddaughter was introduced to science in a positive, fun way and my grandson, already into science, enjoyed the story and learned about elements at the same time. I highly recommend this book to get children interested in science.
