Highly recommended by EBSi·ETUS English representative instructor Joo Hye-yeon!
The official edition of "Horrible Science," a recommended English book by "Teachers," has been released.

Horrible Science, a must-read science book for children around the world exported to over 30 countries and a representative work of Scholastic, a global educational publisher, has been officially published as part of Willbook's 'First English Class' series.
〈Horrible Science〉 is a science book that humorously explains interesting knowledge not taught in school through text and illustrations. It is recommended as a must-read English book by Korea's top English education experts.
This series, which was translated and published in Korea under the title “Ah! Series” and was loved for over 30 years as a “second science textbook,” has long been used by discerning readers as a textbook for mothers to read original texts or for original text reading academies. Recently, it was introduced as an English original text for science-oriented children on the educational program “Please Give Me Grades: Teachers,” and even became sold out.

The newly published 『Horrible Science: A First-Time Science English Class』 is the only original text reading textbook in Korea based on this renowned science series, created under an official licensing agreement with Scholastic.
Professor Joo Hye-yeon strongly recommends this book as a fun experience for both science-oriented students who find English difficult and liberal arts-oriented students who find science unfamiliar.

Wouldn't it be possible to avoid mishaps in space by learning about our solar system's neighboring planets like Venus and Mars, asteroids, and gravity, the force that holds the universe together?

We need to understand before it's too late why planets revolve around the sun, why life exists only on Earth in our solar system, and why humans would rather migrate to Mars than other planets.
