Description

Abby hates doing homework. In fact, she'll do just about anything to get out of it. So when she discovers an amazing scientific recipe for creating a parallel universe where she'll never have to do homework again, she's ready to jump right in. There's just one small wrinkle—she might not be able to find a way back.

Inspired by mind-bending modern physics, David Zeltser and Ayesha L. Rubio spin the tale of a hilarious girl in a truly out-of-this-world adventure.

Featured Reviews

This book would be great for any children interested in science! While the story is fiction, the science behind it is not. I think most children would relate to Abby in not wanting to do homework and trying to figure out any excuse not to do it. This book would also be great for an introduction to black holes and universes.

The Universe Ate My Homework a book that I think many students will relate to. The story is about a young girl named Abby who would much rather be star gazing than doing her homework. So what does she do? Well if you are the daughter of a physicist, you create a mini black hole and universe so you never have to do homework again. It is a great read aloud to share in class, especially for #classroombookaday.

The real science, explained in simple terms, found in this book makes for a great introduction to galaxies and their creation for children interested in science. This would be an excellent choice for older elementary grade levels and home-school families.
