Tumblehome Releases New Science Adventure Book

Boston, MA, July 23, 2020 --(PR.com)-- Tumblehome, Inc. today announced the worldwide launch of The Case of The Covid Crisis by renowned author, doctor and science advocate, Pendred Noyce. The book is written for the curious middle grade reader and is an adventure story that helps kids think about the current pandemic and how it fits in with epidemics of the past. Science, data, and the human capacity for facing uncertainty all play a role in this fast-moving, up-to-date tale.

Mae and Clinton, students and special recruits of the Galactic Academy of Science, take the reader on an adventure as they travel through time and space and learn about COVID-19. Together, they discover the science and math behind the pandemic, develop an understanding of the current crisis and how it fits in with past epidemics... as well as demonstrating how much you can do even in these very trying times.

“The news is full of COVID and controversy, but I wanted to write a book to give kids both solid information and perspective from other epidemics - all wrapped in characters they can relate to.” - Pendred Noyce
