Did you know that without the 'lead' in your pencil, there would be no life on Earth? Just about everything in the universe is made from only 92 elements-and from aluminum to zinc, many of them are hiding in your very own home!

Packed with Lauren Humphrey's quirky illustrations and written by the multi-talented Mike Barfield, this unique introduction to the elements in the periodic table will excite all young readers as they help Sherlock Ohms solve the mystery of how absolutely everything came to exist!

Starting with the Big Bang, The Element in the Room looks at every element in close detail and includes fun comic-strips to tell the stories of key scientific discoveries throughout history.
