Max Axiom is a Super Scientist, who explains the process of Photosynthesis in an action-packed adventure through the style of comics. Max Axiom has the power to shrink into a small size that takes him inside a plant cell, explaining how the parts of a plant inside help oin the process of how plants convert sunlight into energy. This graphoc novel explains the process of photosynthesis in a fun and exciting way, by the visuals and easy explanations. This would be great for those readers who enjoy comic books and superheroes. This text would work best for grades 2-5, aiding in the unit of plants for Science. Students can create a comin strip of their own, demonstrating what they have learned about photsynthesis or write about what it would be like to be in the position of Max Axiom in the process of photosynthesis.

My feelings are pretty consistent on this series so far. I'd be willing to recommend it, but only as a supplemental resource.
