Vernon Bright is a scientific genius… and doesn’t he know it!

But when Bright’s experiments go wrong, the result is often hair-raising, school-wrecking anarchy. Science has never been so hilarious!

Internationally reknowned children’s authors, Steve Barlow and Steve Skidmore have sold hundreds of thousands of printed books, and their unique brand of fast, funny adventure stories are now available for the iPhone and iPod touch.

These illustrated eBooks offer the reluctant young reader an innovative new way of engaging with books and learning about science. As an added bonus, each eBook also includes an interactive quiz to test your Vernon Bright knowledge!

The four books which make up the Vernon Bright series of adventures have been published by Sleepydog Limited and are available for download for $1.99 from the Apple iTunes App Store.

The Books

Vernon Bright and the Magnetic Banana

Why is it that only a few metals are magnetic? Why not bananas? Or worms? Or Horace the Guinea Pig? When Vernon Bright’s scientific investigations turn him into a living magnet, he’s trashed by toasters and scragged by supermarket trolleys. John Watt wants to help – but bashing his new friend over the head with a cricket bat probably isn’t going to work…

REVIEWERS SAY: “… fantastic, exciting and funny… a hilarious read.”

Vernon Bright and Frankenstein’s Hamster

When John Watt looks after the school hamster, Mister Nibbles ends up as something the cat’s had. But when Vernon Bright finds Doctor Frankenstein’s notebook, Mister Nibbles (with a few bits of rat, and gerbil, and guinea pig mixed in) comes back to life and John realizes that his troubles are only just beginning.

REVIEWERS SAY: ” Barlow and Skidmore…on sparkling form – a hugely entertaining read.”

Vernon Bright and the Faster Than Light Show

Having blown up the school orchestra, Vernon Bright turns his talents to videoing the drama department’s production of Julius Caesar. But John Watts’ ham-fisted rewiring turns the video gear into a device that can see into the future. Dodgy Dave is quick to see the financial possibilities… but then the Faster Than Light Show starts to predict disaster – even death – and the future doesn’t look so rosy after all…

REVIEWERS SAY: “The two Steves (know) what their readers want and always deliver – in gigabytes.”

Vernon Bright and the End of the World

When PE teacher Mr Hardman challenges Vernon Bright to a weight lifting contest, brawn against brain, he has no idea what he’s started. Bright can’t make himself stronger, so he’ll have to make the weights lighter – by inventing a machine to defy the force of gravity. And when the machine goes out of control – well, not to worry. It’s not the end of the world. It’s worse than that…

REVIEWERS SAY: “…some great one-liners… an entertaining romp.”

Description

The “Musiquizz (Blind Test)” application allows you to play a musical blind test on your iPhone / iPod Touch.

WARNING, it is important that your library is totally clean to be able to fully enjoy this application. ex: if you have songs whose artist is “The Beatles” and others with “Beatles (The)”, you may have to choose between those two.

Game

The music starts and the game displays different artists. It’s up to you to guess which one is the one of the song. If your answer is correct, you’ll earn a number of points which depends on the time you took to give the answer : <hen the song starts, the score is 1,000 points. When it drops to 0, it’s too late and the correct answer is displayed (Tap “OK” to launch next track). You lose 100 points in case of wrong answer.

At the end of the game, the final score and the number of correct answers are displayed.

Two-Players Game (Battle)

The principle of the game is the same, but the first player to answer scores the points. At the end, the player with the higher score wins the game. The two players play simultaneously on the same device, with the same track : the screen is split.

Earning jokers

During the game, you can earn jokers if you give fast and correct answers. Those jokers are here to help you during the game.

You earn a joker when :

• you give a correct answer in less than 2 seconds
• you give a correct answer in the last second of the time
• you give 3 fast (< 3 seconds) and correct answers in a row
