We explore the good-hearted and smart twins Kira and Jacob in this adventure about nature, science and family.
It is a cool book for older children (9+) and has great messages in it. I loved that the characters are from Uganda and such representation is much-needed.

The story is full of exciting moments, adventures and secrets.

Transcendent is a fast-paced story about family, brother-sister relationships, following your moral compass, solving problems with science and saving the world! I loved the messages in this book - from treating the environment with care, to treating others with compassion to not always accepting a situation at face value.
As a tutor, it will be a great one to read together with students. I love how it encourages children to think critically about the world and I look forward to analysing all the techniques used. We'll be going through comprehension questions on this that I've already written(!) and we'll definitely be inspired to write our own related stories. Let's not forget - we'll enjoy the funny moments together too!
Transcendent is the perfect blend of humour, adventure and the coverage of serious and important topics.
I would recommend it to children in UKS2 or KS3 - especially those who don't mind a scary moment or two.
