Imagine Your Story: Libraries
Mad Science brings in young readers with an amazing show this summer! Experiments demonstrating the principles of air and pressure are artfully woven into tales of mischievous spells, dragon-riding, and explosive dragon sneezes. Kids are enchanted by stories of a magician named Spectaclia and her pet dragon. They are captivated by a vortex generator that creates giant smoke rings, a cleaning bag that becomes a hot air balloon, and a special powder that transforms into a fireball!
