Georgia Amson-Bradshaw is a children's writer and editor who lives in Brighton, East Sussex. She has worked on a number of high-profile and award-winning science books for kids, including the Royal Society Young People's Book Prize winner Eye Benders, and the London Science Museum activity book This Book Thinks You're a Scientist.

A great book for introducing the topic of materials to children; the cover is engaging and makes the topic look interesting ... Would make a good addition to a school library, particularly as there is currently a greater focus on engaging pupils in STEM subjects. -- Kate Keaveny * The School Librarian *
