The Spark in Me
Miguel Tanco

A follow up to the bestselling Count on Me, this narrative non-fiction title will light a spark not only in aspiring scientists, but in anyone who looks at nature with curiosity and creativity.

If the galaxy is packed with stars... why is it so dark? If water is transparent, why is snow white? Could I walk on the ceiling? Could I get to school blowing a giant bubble? These are just a few of the questions that the young protagonist in this story asks out loud. To find the answers, this book will take readers through black holes, travelling at the speed of sound, going in orbit and floating on paper boats, discovering the easy-to-understand yet fascinating principles of physics.

“An inventive way to link posing questions with looking for answers”
Kirkus Reviews

“This book is endorsement for readers to take a look around, question the world around them, and seek knowledge wherever they go.”
School Library Journal

“Miguel Tanco inhabits the world of children, consumed with both excitement and their sense of initiative, as they steer a course towards knowledge of the world”
