New Plausible Sci-Fi Book Inspired By CERN Research & String Theory Announced

With the development of his new project, which he calls, “Revelation Equation”, Sam Toney seeks to create a new sci-fi subgenre, blending aspects of hard science and spiritual thought. The project currently includes a fiction novel and an accompanying website, which features a discussion forum and shared space for those interested in the ideas at play in Toney’s work. To find out more, visit https://revelationequation.com While other authors before him—most famously C.S. Lewis, have operated at the intersection of religious philosophy and science fiction, Toney explains that those authors typically leaned heavily into the more fantastical elements of the genre without regard for the scientific basis behind the worlds they created. Standing apart from his contemporaries and those who came before, Toney is developing a story that he claims is “equation-based”, directly inspired by the findings of experimentation conducted at CERN. He is particularly concerned with research regarding other dimensions and realities, much of which lies in the realm of quantum physics, but which often borders on purely hypothetical, spiritual thought. He calls the new subgenre "plausible sci-fi", and hopes to create more stories in this emerging tradition in the future. In “Revelation Equation”, Toney has stated that he will tell a grounded, human story that borrows concepts from quantum mechanics and applies them in a narrative about scientific exploration, philosophy, and the search for meaning. In the course of this project’s development, the author is taking a non-traditional approach to the writing process by providing a behind-the-scenes look at the story as it develops. He has created the “Revelation Equation” discussion board, which is hosted on his website and will offer those interested in these concepts the chance to explore them openly with other like-minded individuals. Toney explains his mission as follows: "Imagine a world of greater accord, where love and compassion, which we all have within, grow over time through simple acts of respect and the willingness to understand the thoughts and beliefs of one another. We can live in a world with greater agreement by moving away from the dissonance and open our the hearts and minds of more people to what is possible, what may exist beyond what we can plainly see or believe today." About Sam Toney, M.D. Toney is a retired psychiatrist, aspiring author, and long-time seeker of truth and meaning in the universe. His work has allowed him to collaborate with the foremost thinkers in the world of UAP investigation and non-traditional philosophy. “Revelation Equation” is his first foray into the world of fiction, though he has expressed ambitions to continue this work down the line with additional titles.

Yvonne Wandera Announces New Sci-Fi Comic Zurri Sana Redefining Female Protagonists

Zurri Sana A Radical Shift in Sci-Fi Comics In the vast universe of comic books, the narrative surrounding women protagonists often follows a predictable pattern: young, invincible, and often relegated to side roles as they age. But Zurri Sana , a dynamic new graphic story in a webcomic format, created by Yvonne Wandera, flips that stereotype on its head. The action-filled comic follows Zurri, a mid-30s Black female smuggler in a dystopian world where body parts are traded as commodities. Zurri's mission to deliver a pair of limbs before sunset is more than just a high-stakes action adventure; it's a story that dives deep into themes of survival, loneliness, and body dysmorphia. Photo Courtesy: Benjamin Oliver A New Era of Female Protagonists in Sci-Fi For many years, the world of comics has struggled to create female protagonists that break free from the cycle of eternal youth. Women in their 30s, especially speculative fiction, have been underrepresented or often depicted as side characters or mothers. This erasure of women over 30 is a persistent problem in both mainstream comics, graphic novels and pop culture. Yvonne Wandera’s Zurri Sana is a radical counterpoint to this trend, introducing a flawed, reckless, and multifaceted heroine within an action packed journey, speaks to the complexities of life in your 30s. As Wandera explains, "Honestly, there’s a point in a woman's life where she’s looked at like she’s ‘stale’... I felt a roaring fire in me, and I channeled that into an action packed narrative with the dynamic protagonist, Zurri at the center." Unlike many traditional female heroes, Zurri is not trying to reclaim lost youth. Instead, she is simply trying to navigate the world around her. Embracing her imperfections and flaws as an integral part of her identity, positioning her as a relatable and empowering figure for many readers. Body Parts for Sale A Dystopian Reflection of Our Present The concept of limb trading in Zurri Sana may seem fantastical, but the parallel to today’s world is uncanny. In a Middle Eastern underworld, body parts are currency for those seeking survival or the latest surgical enhancements. It’s a scenario that resonates with our modern anxieties about biotech, cosmetic surgery, and even organ trafficking. Wandera sees this connection clearly. “It sounds like dystopian fiction until you look at today’s biotech startups, the booming cosmetic surgery market, and underground organ trafficking. I wanted to ask: what is your body worth when it’s up for sale?” Through Zurri Sana , Wandera challenges readers to consider the ethical boundaries of body modification and the commodification of human beings. It’s a poignant commentary on the lengths people will go to for self-worth and how society’s obsession with beauty and youth has led to the objectification of the human body. The Silent Grief of Black Women Beyond the sci-fi action, Zurri Sana takes a deeper dive into the often-overlooked experiences of Black women, particularly their struggles with aging, loneliness, and the absence of traditional family structures. As Wandera notes, "Loneliness has been called an epidemic, but rarely does pop culture confront it head on within graphic novels." Zurri, a character grappling with silent grief, is a symbol of this often-unseen pain. Her action packed journey is one of survival, not just in a physical sense, but emotionally as well. She embodies quiet strength. This theme is central to Zurri Sana , turning what could be a simple sci-fi narrative into an exploration of resilience and identity. Photo Courtesy: Benjamin Oliver A Creator’s Multicultural Lens Yvonne Wandera’s background as a Black woman born in Nairobi and raised in London adds an essential layer of richness to the Zurri Sana world. Wandera’s experiences as a writer, actress, and producer, most notably her role as Lucy in the award-winning video game Detroit: Become Human , inform the depth and complexity of Zurri’s character. "I wanted to create a character that was not only a smuggler but a woman struggling with the same emotional complexities that many of us do in our everyday lives," Wandera shares. Her multicultural perspective, combined with her background in the arts, brings a distinctive sensibility to this action comic. With Zurri Sana , Wandera crafts a roaring narrative that resonates with a global audience, blending speculative fiction with emotional storytelling. A Serialized Future The Webcomic Format Zurri Sana is being released as an episodic webcomic, offering readers a unique opportunity to follow Zurri’s journey in real time. Every two months, a new episode unveils more about Zurri’s action-filled, dynamic world and her personal struggles, creating a serialized tension that builds on the emotional depth of the story. "I wanted readers to have the chance to get invested in the world and the characters over time," says Wandera. "It allows for real character development and a deeper connection with the story." The graphic novel is presented in a webcomic format, which gives Wandera the freedom to experiment with action sequences, allowing her to explore complex themes and layered character arcs at a slower, more deliberate pace. Readers can engage with Zurri’s world in a way that feels personal and ongoing, creating a sense of anticipation with each new episode. About Zurri Sana Zurri Sana is a cutting-edge sci-fi action thriller graphic novel in episodic webcomic format, created by Yvonne Wandera. The comic follows Zurri, a Black female smuggler navigating a dystopian world where body parts are traded for survival and vanity. With themes of aging, loneliness, and body dysmorphia, Zurri Sana presents a radical departure from typical sci-fi narratives by focusing on complex female characters and their personal struggles. The webcomic is currently available at www.zurrisana.com . Media Contact Yvonne Wandera Creator and Writer, Zurri Sana Email: [email protected] Website: www.zurrisana.com Instagram: @zurriworld

Fordham University Releases Adedayo Agarau’s Debut Poetry Collection, The Year of Blood

A New Era for Nigerian Poetry: Adedayo Agarau's Debut Collection Adedayo Agarau, a Nigerian poet, editor, and educator, is set to release his debut poetry collection, The Year of Blood , in Fall 2025. Published by Fordham University Press, the collection promises a groundbreaking entrance into Nigeria’s complex social and political landscapes. Known for his compelling voice in contemporary poetry, Agarau’s work captures the gritty and often uncomfortable realities of his country, addressing themes of ritual killings, absence, cultural memory, and loss. The collection won the 2024 Poetic Justice Institute Editor’s Prize. An Exploration of Ritual Violence The Years of Blood is published today, and it reads like a book that has been living in the world already. In advance coverage by Sundress Reads , Livia Meneghin describes the poetry collection as one that guides readers from grief to beauty, highlighting a speaker who is never alone and a landscape rich with hauntings and hope. The notice highlights how the opening prose-block “Wind” stages anxiety and tenderness in the same breath, and how the final “Litany in which my father returns safely at night” closes with a quiet, earned wish. Much of the collection’s force comes from its attention to vivid detail. Names accrue, streets reappear, objects persist. “Boys who never die” reads like a ledger of the city’s sons, a chorus that refuses flattening. In this register, the book feels less like testimony after the fact and more like a document composed under an experienced climate. Sundress Reads singled out that poem’s three-dimensional portrait of Ìbàdàn’s boys and men, and it functions as a keystone: a community is built not only of wounds but of gazes, small bravados, and ordinary care. Agarau threads the public record directly into the lyric—“Sọ́kà” quotes a news report about parents forced to identify children from photographs after “years of separation,” then pans across a storeroom of remains and objects: uniforms, leather bags, baby diapers. The matter-of-fact camera — “a lizard swallows an insect and nods”— is unnerving precisely because it withholds rhetoric. A Critical African Voice Agarau's literary journey has already garnered significant recognition. After completing an M.F.A. in Poetry at the University of Iowa (Iowa Writers Workshop), he attended the prestigious Wallace Stegner Fellowship at Stanford University before moving to Los Angeles to resume a Ph.D in Creative Writing at the University of Southern California. Agarau’s work has featured publications such as Narrative, Poetry Foundation , Iowa Review , and World Literature Today . He has also been recognized as a finalist for several major awards, including the Ruth Lilly and Dorothy Sargent Rosenberg Poetry Fellowship and the Montreal Prize. His debut collection, The Year of Blood , follows a series of successful chapbooks, including The Origin of Name , which was selected for the New-Generation African Poets series, and The Arrival of Rain . Contributions to Literary Communities Beyond his work on the page, Agarau is an advocate for the development of literary communities, particularly across Africa. As a Cave Canem Fellow and a founding editor of Poetry Sango-Ota , a platform dedicated to mentoring and supporting emerging Nigerian poets, he is actively working to nurture new voices and create opportunities for aspiring writers. His involvement in programs like the UnSerious Collective Fellowship, which supports emerging Nigerian writers, showcases his commitment to elevating voices that might otherwise go unheard. Adedayo has announced the Alhaji Arole Agarawu African Poetry Prize, which seeks to award a poem written by an African person. Agarau's work extends to his editorial roles, including serving as the Poetry Book Reviews Editor at The Rumpus and as the Editor-in-Chief of Agbowo Magazine , an influential African literary platform. His editorial work has allowed him to shape and amplify the voices of numerous writers, reinforcing his position as a key figure in the global literary ecosystem. About Adedayo Agarau Adedayo Agarau is a Nigerian poet, editor, and educator. He holds an M.F.A. in Poetry from the University of Iowa and is currently a Wallace Stegner Fellow at Stanford University. Agarau has written five chapbooks, with The Year of Blood set for release in Fall 2025. He is actively involved in supporting emerging Nigerian poets and has contributed to major literary publications, including Poetry Foundation , Iowa Review , and World Literature Today . Agarau’s work addresses themes of migration, cultural memory, and postcolonial identity, with a particular focus on ritual violence in Nigeria.

Story Nook For Kids Announces Launch of Nagaland Chronicles

A New Voice in Faith-Based Fantasy Story Nook For Kids, founded by author Among Jamir, has announced the release of Nagaland Chronicles: The First Scroll , a faith-based fantasy series that combines Ao Naga tribal heritage with a deeply Christian worldview. Through this fusion, the series offers an imaginative and spiritually resonant alternative in the growing landscape of children’s and teen fantasy literature. The story introduces readers to warrior queens, celestial guardians, and chosen vessels, each carrying destinies rooted in prophecy and redemption. With its poetic tone and cultural depth, the work sets out to preserve heritage, inspire faith, and confront timeless struggles between light and darkness. Weaving Culture and Faith into Fantasy At the core of Nagaland Chronicles lies the author’s Ao Naga identity. Rich descriptions of landscapes, warrior traditions, and cultural heritage form the backdrop of the story, grounding it in a setting that is both unique and authentic. Alongside this cultural foundation, Christian allegory flows naturally throughout the series. Themes of divine calling, spiritual warfare, forgiveness, and hope frame the journeys of its protagonists. Among Jamir has described her writing as both storytelling and testimony. “I see my stories as vessels of truth,” she explained, “not only to entertain but to encourage, inspire, and preserve the memory of a people and faith that shaped me.” Heroic Figures and Celestial Guardians The series introduces characters who carry not only cultural strength but also spiritual significance. Princess Among of Nagaland takes center stage as a fiery warrior chosen to bear the sacred weapon Or’Elan. Guided by Zulu, a celestial guardian in the form of a hornbill, she represents the fusion of tribal legacy and prophetic calling. Princess Nava of Kerala appears as a ruler of the South, whose protector is Tiger Raja, a guardian in the form of a majestic tiger. Their bond reinforces the theme of divine companionship and leadership. Additional characters will emerge in the sequel, Nagaland Chronicles: The Second Scroll, scheduled for release in November. These include Princess Yen, the Queen of the Tides, defended by Asriel the Leviathan, a celestial force rising against child slavery; Princess Lendina, shielded by Ariel the Winged Lion, one of the most powerful seraphs in the narrative; Prince Khamari of Africa; and Lio, a child survivor of tragedy, whose presence adds new dimensions of innocence and resilience to the story. These figures are more than fictional creations; they are role models crafted to reflect strength, moral integrity, and spiritual truth. Beyond Fantasy: A Mission of Preservation and Hope While Nagaland Chronicles provides a compelling fantasy narrative, it also carries a mission beyond entertainment. The story emphasizes cultural preservation by presenting the landscapes and traditions of the Ao Naga people to audiences that rarely encounter them in literature. It also offers a spiritual dimension, inviting readers to reflect on themes of prophecy, sacrifice, and redemption. Biblical allegories woven into the plot provide parallels to timeless truths of faith, while the battles between celestial guardians and forces of darkness mirror the ongoing human struggle with justice, loyalty, and forgiveness. By placing young readers at the heart of this narrative, the series encourages not only imagination but also moral and spiritual reflection. Distinction in a Global Market Fantasy literature has long been dominated by narratives rooted in European mythologies. In contrast, Nagaland Chronicles offers a distinctive contribution by drawing on tribal traditions rarely represented in mainstream global fantasy. This cultural authenticity, combined with its Christian foundation, makes the work stand apart. The author’s poetic style creates a vivid and immersive reading experience while maintaining spiritual resonance. For audiences seeking fantasy stories with both cultural richness and moral grounding, Nagaland Chronicles emerges as a compelling choice. Critical Angles for Readers and Educators The series holds value not only for individual readers but also for educators, faith leaders, and cultural advocates. It provides material that can encourage conversations around heritage, spirituality, and the role of storytelling in shaping identity. Strong female leads, represented by warrior queens and rulers, serve as role models for young readers. The forthcoming Second Scroll expands these roles with new characters, further deepening the narrative’s engagement with themes such as child protection, sacrifice, and hope. Meanwhile, the inclusion of spiritual allegories and moral struggles makes the series relevant to contemporary social issues. This combination of entertainment, cultural preservation, and moral exploration reflects the broader mission of Story Nook For Kids. About Story Nook For Kids Story Nook For Kids is a creative platform founded by author Among Jamir, dedicated to producing faith-based and culturally resonant stories for children and teens. Its flagship series, Nagaland Chronicles , merges Ao Naga heritage with Christian allegories to offer young readers literature that is both imaginative and spiritually enriching. Through storytelling, the company seeks to inspire faith, preserve cultural memory, and provide meaningful narratives that transcend borders.

Craig Jacocks Announces Release of Aware Of Their Presence Revised Edition

The Story Behind Aware Of Their Presence Revised Edition Craig Jacocks is not your typical author. His story is unlike anything you may have read before. In Aware Of Their Presence Revised Edition , Jacocks opens up about his extraordinary experiences with UFO sightings and alien encounters. Unlike many who hesitate to speak about such occurrences, Jacocks is unapologetically open, sharing details that have shaped his life. His honesty about these experiences has led him to not only write a book but also speak at public engagements, television interviews, and podcasts. Jacocks’ journey began as a child when he witnessed a close-up UFO sighting, an event that sparked a lifelong interest in the phenomenon. The encounters continued into his twenties, with experiences occurring intermittently into his late forties. As he approaches his 60th birthday, Jacocks reflects on these moments, continuing to share his story with those who are willing to listen and learn. An Unexpected Discovery In 2005, Jacocks discovered two metallic objects embedded near his spine, a finding that was made by accident at an airport security checkpoint. The objects were detected by a wand detector when Jacocks failed to pass through a metal detector. The discovery led Jacocks to visit his doctor for x-rays, which confirmed the presence of two needle-like metallic objects lodged near his lower back. What makes this discovery even more astonishing is the fact that similar metallic objects had been found in Jacocks’ knee as a child. These objects were removed then, but the new implants near his spine could not be removed due to the risk of paralysis, as advised by the doctors at the Cleveland Clinic. This has led Jacocks to explore the nature of these objects and their possible connection to his extraordinary experiences. The Impact of Jacocks’ Story Aware Of Their Presence isn’t just about unexplained events, it’s a window into one man’s perspective on life, identity, and the unknown. Jacocks’ willingness to share his deeply personal journey sets him apart from others in the UFO and alien encounter community. While many shy away from revealing their experiences for fear of ridicule, Jacocks stands firm in his belief and his openness, encouraging others to be equally unafraid to explore the unknown. What makes Jacocks’ story truly unique is his refusal to engage in debates with those who do not believe him. Rather than arguing with skeptics, Jacocks is content to tell his story honestly, even when it’s uncomfortable, and allow others to come to their own conclusions. This approach has resonated with readers, many of whom report reading the book in a single sitting due to its gripping nature and candid storytelling. About Craig Jacocks and Aware Of Their Presence Craig Jacocks is an author, speaker, and advocate for those who have experienced similar extraordinary encounters. His book, Aware Of Their Presence: Revised Edition , is a personal account of his UFO sightings, alien experiences, and the reflections that have accompanied these events throughout his life. Jacocks’ openness in sharing his experiences makes him a notable figure in the community, with interviews on local television stations and podcasts. His work continues to inspire those seeking answers about the unknown and serves as a testament to the resilience of those who are not afraid to stand by their truth. Beyond writing, Jacocks is passionate about raising awareness and sparking meaningful conversations on unexplained phenomena. He believes in a deeper connection to the universe and is committed to helping others understand the significance of their own encounters. Through his public speaking engagements, Jacocks hopes to create a platform where people can openly share their experiences without fear of judgment or ridicule. His dedication to the topic has led him to connect with individuals across the globe who share similar experiences and seek solidarity in a community that embraces the unknown.

A New Chapter for Sandalfeet Ministries: A Journey Through Adversity Sandalfeet Ministries, led by founder Erin Olson, has announced the forthcoming release of a new book titled MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE: HOLDING ONTO GOD'S PEACE WHILE FACING DEATH . This deeply personal work emerges from Olson’s own recent battle with cancer, which has profoundly influenced her ministry’s mission to spread hope and peace in a world full of uncertainty. Throughout her life, Erin Olson has dedicated herself to helping others live in full surrender to Jesus Christ, drawing strength from the Word of God and the Holy Spirit. Sandalfeet Ministries, under her guidance, has been providing resources like Bible studies, devotionals, blogs, podcasts, and speaking engagements to equip believers to live out the Great Commission. Yet, it is Olson's own personal experience with life-threatening illness that has sparked her latest and most heartfelt project. In MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE , Olson shares her emotional and spiritual journey of facing a cancer diagnosis, exploring themes of faith, peace, and God's unwavering presence in the midst of suffering. The title is a reflection of Olson's belief that even when life presents challenges too great for us to manage alone, God’s peace is still available,something Olson experienced firsthand throughout her battle. Erin Olson’s Personal Story of Strength and Hope Erin Olson’s cancer journey began as an unexpected and overwhelming challenge, but it also became an opportunity for her to lean deeply into her faith. While undergoing treatment and facing uncertain days, Olson found solace in trusting God’s sovereignty and peace, which she believes transcends all circumstances. Reflecting on the impact of this experience, Olson shared, "I truly believe that God can give us more than we can handle because He is able to handle the more. It is not us by ourself in the more. He is with us. Even in the darkest moments, His peace is enough to sustain us. It is my deepest hope that this book will offer others the comfort and hope that I found through my faith during one of the most difficult seasons of my life.” The upcoming book is more than just a recounting of personal struggles; it serves as a powerful resource for anyone navigating trials or seeking peace in the face of fear. The narrative emphasizes the importance of holding onto God's promises during life’s most trying moments and offers practical advice and spiritual insights that have been shaped by Olson’s own experiences. What Makes Sandalfeet Ministries Stand Out Sandalfeet Ministries does not consider other organizations as competitors, but rather as fellow believers in the mission of spreading God’s love and peace. Erin Olson's approach is distinct because it focuses on authenticity and personal connection. Through the book, Olson seeks not only to share her story but to create a lasting impact on readers, encouraging them to find peace in God no matter what life throws their way. “I don't see others in my space as competitors," said Olson. "Rather, we’re all fellow travelers on a journey to share the hope and peace that only Jesus can offer. My hope is that this book serves as one more way to do that." The book release comes at a time when many are searching for hope and peace in the midst of uncertainty. Olson's writing is not just about her story but about providing a beacon of light for all who are struggling.

Melchizedek Book Announces Release of Transformative New Spiritual Narrative

A Journey of Transformation in Venezuela In the barrios of Petare, Venezuela, one of the world’s most violent and impoverished regions, a stranger named Melchizedek arrives with a simple yet powerful message: change begins with the heart. His story begins as a quiet mission to bring hope to those trapped in cycles of violence and poverty. However, what starts as an act of kindness soon blossoms into a larger movement, inspiring entire communities to come together for peace and reconciliation.

British Children’s Book Making Science Magical Reaches #1 on Amazon in US and UK

A British children’s book that blends science and fantasy has climbed to #1 on Amazon in both the US and UK — being hailed as a bold new kind of children’s fiction, Ellie Ment and the Material Matter is inspiring thousands of young readers on both sides of the Atlantic. And its success has a purpose: published by not-for-profit The Clean Planet Foundation, every copy sold helps fund science and environmental projects in schools and communities , furthering the Foundation’s mission. Released at the end of June 2025, the book has already been chosen over the summer and as start-of-year reading by clubs and schools for more than 1,000 pupils in Florida, Philadelphia, Arizona, Oklahoma, Indiana, Texas and Connecticut. Educators say it is proving a powerful way to spark curiosity in science whilst keeping children entertained. Angee Costa, a former teacher, principal, and curriculum writer led the programme for 100 pupils at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Charlotte County, Florida: “Ellie Ment and the Material Matter does something rare — it makes science exciting without ever feeling like a lesson. We started reading it together, but the children were racing ahead on their own. They weren’t just enjoying the adventure — they wanted to talk about the real science behind it. For an educator, that’s the dream: a book that makes kids desperate to learn more.” And children in the UK are leading the charge too . Twelve-year-old Georgina Fox from London said: “I started looking up experiments after reading [this book] because I wanted to try them myself.” Meanwhile, eleven-year-old Lucas Boghici from Buckinghamshire added: “Ellie Ment did feel like a Marvel movie, turning Science into the real magic, my little sister is already reading it too.” Much of the book’s momentum has also been amplified by social media, where clips and recommendations have been shared on accounts with millions of combined followers. Viral school influencer Holly Hos (@thehos), whose TikTok account has 1.5 million followers, posted about the book and received over 10,000 likes and comments across her social feeds. At its heart, the novel follows 11-year-old Ellie Ment, whose school is destroyed by a mysterious purple fire. Drawn into a world of hidden science, secret societies and impossible choices, she must decide whether science should solve environmental problems at any cost — or whether some compromises should never be made. On Goodreads, the global reader platform, Ellie Ment and the Material Matter holds an impressive 4.7-star rating, with readers calling it “funny, clever and unforgettable.” The novel has also reached the top spot in several key Amazon book categories , including Children’s Science Fiction and Children’s Action Adventure in both the UK and USA. Kirkus Reviews, established in 1933 and widely regarded as the gold standard in book reviewing, praised the novel as: “A quirky science adventure… handling the complexities of trying to save the world with nuance and care.” The review carried Kirkus’ “Get It” recommendation — its highest accolade — placing the book among a select group judged to be essential reading. Bertie Stephens, CEO of the Clean Planet Foundation , said the organisation turned to storytelling as another way to inspire children about the environment and science. “Seeing hundreds of children discover Ellie’s story each day has been extraordinary. What makes this achievement even more exciting is knowing that every book sold directly funds our work in schools and communities. The STEM book gives more young people the chance to see that science can be every bit as magical as fantasy.” The book also carries a foreword by Stanley Johnson, father of former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and a renowned environmentalist and author who has received awards from Greenpeace, WWF and the RSPB for his conservation work. In it, he describes the story as: “This book pulls off something quite remarkable. It makes science genuinely exciting, the problems facing our world accessible, and environmental responsibility fun. Not through lectures, but through story.” That sense of purpose lies at the heart of the Clean Planet Foundation’s mission. Based in the UK, the Foundation is part of the Clean Planet Group and runs projects designed to engage children with environmental action and awareness — from creating educational comics and classroom lesson plans, to supporting biodiversity projects and microplastics research in the polar regions. Last year, the Foundation’s documentary on its tree-planting project with Scottish charity Trees for Life was awarded at the Cannes World Film Festival. And this is just the beginning. Ellie Ment and the Material Matter is the first in a planned series, with further books being developed by the Foundation to keep building momentum in schools worldwide. With thousands of copies now in readers’ hands across both the US and UK — and available from most bookshops — for the Clean Planet Foundation this is more than a publishing milestone: it is helping inspire a generation to see that science really is magic.
