"The Professor was strange. That was clear from the beginning. Eric couldn't quite put his finger on the strangeness either. It was the kind of feeling that quivers around inside you; a sort of roller coaster feeling that starts with a queasy stomach and then travels to a headache and a tingly feeling in your fingers and toes. Eric knew the minute he saw the Professor standing at the front of the classroom that there was something unusual about him."
So starts the adventures of Eric, Meredith, Professor Strang and SID (a rather strange character indeed) in the enjoyable new story with the unusual premiss of telling a good story that has all of its scientific facts straight.
Written to encourage reading and an interest in astronomy, readers young and older find the story engaging and the facts facinating.
Eric and Meredith become interested in space and science after a presentation at their school by Professor Strang. The professor's observatory provides the opportunity to view the stars and planets in a way that neither Eric or Meredith have ever seen them... and set the stage for meeting SID, a character in so many ways.
A trip to an orbit around Saturn and other adventures are all part of the fun and danger as the story unfolds. Many astronomical facts are made clear, and there is a very complete glossary to allow the reader to further explore some of the new words in the story.
Grab your favorite reading spot and find yourself whisked away into the adventures of Eric, Meredith and SID. You'll be glad you discovered space and "The Professor's Telescope".
