About the book
The brain is an amazing thing, but it doesn't always get things right when it comes to sight! This book is packed full of mind-boggling puzzles and diagrams that showcase the science at work behind those illusions that make us laugh, gasp and wonder HOW!?
What did the judges think?
Judge Dr Martin How, Royal Society Research Fellow, University of Bristol, said: “This book really grabbed my attention. I loved how the author uses a range of illusions to trick our vision, then illuminates what’s going on in our eyes and brain using bite-sized scientific explanations. Kids of all ages will find this entertaining and educational, and I think it has the potential to persuade young minds to take a real interest in the fields of biology and medicine.”
