Oliver's Great Big Universe: Volume 1

Mind-expanding and hilarious! Jeff Kinney, author of the bestselling Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. This hilarious new illustrated series will make you laugh out loud and grow your brain. Perfect for readers age 8 and up and fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and The 13-Storey Treehouse.

Hi, I'm Oliver! I know what you're thinking: what does an 11-year-old kid know about the universe? Am I a famous scientist? No. Am I a super-genius? Not really. I'm just trying to figure out the usual stuff: new school, new friends, how to avoid my annoying sister. But there's one thing that does make sense: science! Outer space is totally my thing and I can tell you everything you need to know about awesome stuff like time-bending black holes, how the Big Bang is like a fart, and aliens! (Well, there could be aliens.)

From bestselling writer and robotics engineer Jorge Cham, Oliver's Great Big Universe is the first book in a STEM-themed, diary-style series.

An absolute gem! Lincoln Peirce, author of the bestselling series Big Nate. A stellar confluence of comic episodes and cosmic information. In addition to brilliantly integrated comic moments, surprising plot twists add narrative pizzazz to a serious raft of data about the universe. An irresistibly entertaining introduction to astrophysics. - Kirkus starred review.
