SuperQuesters Lilli, Leo and Bea have a new mission in the latest in this STEM adventure series. Through an inventive mix of story and puzzling quests the friends must stop evil Lord Grumble polluting the waters around Questland.
The engaging puzzles that the reader must solve to help the 3 friends achieve their mission include using problem-solving to calm an angry sea spirit, using coding skills to save a pair of otters from an oil spill and using programming to help clean an ocean garbage patch. As these quests are completed they slowly save the Questlands waters, and give young readers the opportunity to practice computing skills in a fun way whilst also learning about ocean pollution.
The SuperQuesters series has been designed by industry experts to develop children’s STEM skills and knowledge in fun and creative ways. Colourful and bold illustrations bring the story to life, whilst depicting ethnically diverse characters and positive representations of women and girls in STEM.
Over 100 reusable stickers are included at the back of the book, these are used to aid and reward successful quests. There is also a comprehensive glossary that introduces key STEM vocabulary and additional online resources available. The quests are suitably challenging for young readers, taking care to encourage and never condescend. I won’t embarrass myself by revealing how long it took me to solve one of them!
Overall, this is a fun, interactive story that will educate and entertain.

About Dr Thomas Bernard & Lisa Moss
Husband and wife author team, Dr Thomas Bernard and Lisa Moss were inspired to co-found QuestFriendz, a children’s book publisher, following the birth of their twin daughters and their passion to help make STEM learning exciting and accessible to all children.
Lisa grew up in Canada and has written stories from a young age. A 20-year corporate career at several high-tech companies led her to become acutely aware of the STEM skills gap.
Thomas grew up in France and was inspired by his grandfather to have a curiosity for science, technology and discovering the world around him. His love for coding and the opportunity to create and innovate led him to pursue degrees in Physics, Mathematics and Engineering along with a PhD in Computer Engineering. He became profoundly aware of the STEM skills gap and more specifically the gender gap in STEM during his time as a computer science lecturer and during his career at several high tech companies.
Thomas and Lisa live together in Amsterdam with their STEM-loving twin daughters Emilie and Rebecca.
