Why should young readers join the Supervillain Academy? Because they want to destroy the world, of course! Or maybe because they think it would be fun to push their friends into a black hole. Or (and this is the real reason) because they want to read a book that’s a mix of mind-blowing space facts and complete silliness. Young readers that are fascinated by science and want to tackle some truly cosmic topics — with plenty of terrible jokes along the way — will love the Supervillain Academy."

– author, Dr. Matthew Bothwell

At the Supervillain Academy, middle grade readers can learn about the solar system, galaxies, the universe, and, most importantly, the answer to the question “Are we really alone?”.

Based on real (and morbid) questions from children, expert author Dr Matt Bothwell has created a Supervillain Academy to teach astrophysics to middle graders.

Perfect for fans of Kay’s Marvellous Medicine and the Horrible Histories series, Astrophysics for Supervillains: The Great Alien Hunt is the second book of the Supervillain Academy series that will have curious kids keen to get to school on time!
