Thank you @palamedespr @cleanplanetf @hapsiecomics #elliement gor letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Ellie Ment and the Material Matter is a young teenager genre. I like the front cover and title, they both work well together. The book is very well written and a very entertaining read. The writing grabs your attention straight the way. I feel young teenagers will enjoy this book because it has magic and science all the way through. The illustrations in the book are fantastic and unique. A great story with brilliant characters. A must-read, 5 stars. Book Blurb What if science is the real magic in our world? Ellie Ment thinks so.
