What did the judges think?
Dr Joshua Kestel, a Royal Society Newton International Fellow researching the relationships between plants and their pollinators, said: “This book has really pulled off something unique and special. Its 'choose your own adventure' style will allow kids to journey through evolution in highly entertaining and interactive way. Will your reign as king of the dinosaurs - the T Rex – be cut short or will you evolve to waddle among the Emperor Penguins in Antarctica?”
