Booklist - 05/15/2022 In the Max Axiom and the Society of Super Scientists series (4 new titles)—a subset of the long-running Max Axiom informational graphic novels—Max, a superhero-like scientist, joins forces with younger Lizzy and Nick (all three of whom have brown skin) and Spark the dog to investigate global scientific and environmental issues. Each volume starts with a dilemma that challenges the friends to research the science behind it and come up with possible solutions. Digitally rendered, action-packed scenes range from covering the scientists' work in the field to showing them gathering data in the lab, while colorful charts and graphs extend the science. Max and his team explore a water-treatment plant and discover how environmental factors are causing water scarcity around the world in Global Water Crisis. A round-up of related facts concludes each book in this engaging and accessible series. - Copyright 2022 Booklist.
