This book is about different branches of Physics, including Mechanics, Sound, Light, Thermodynamics, Electrical science, Electromagnetism, Particles and Astrophysics. It uses the characters of the popular game Angry Birds to explain the different scientific concepts in an interesting way. This book is very interesting and I would highly recommend it.

Love this!
All sorts of physics presented in understandable words. Lots of physics that you don't even think of that happen every day. Fun Angry Birds theme.
Every kid studying physics needs this book.
