About this listen
Ellie doesn’t believe in magic. She believes in science.
But when her school burns down in roaring purple flames, her favourite teacher gives her mysterious Elemental Bracers, and she’s invited to join a secret society of the world’s smartest minds, Ellie realises not everything has a logical explanation…Packed with adventure, humour, and just a bit of chaos, Ellie Ment and the Material Matter is where chemistry meets courage, physics bends reality, and curiosity might just save the world.
Narrated by JENNIFER SAUNDERS — the iconic star of Absolutely Fabulous, French & Saunders, Death on the Nile, and Shrek 2.
Why Everyone Should Listen to ELLIE MENT AND THE MATERIAL MATTER:
- STEM Adventure: Introduces children to real scientific concepts (elements, compounds, chemical reactions, quantum superposition) through thrilling, accessible storytelling.
- Youth Empowerment: Ellie symbolises the next generation challenging the old way of doing things. The story explores the frustration and hope young people experience when confronting adult compromise.
- The Environment: Tackles real-world issues like microplastic pollution, unsustainable industry practices, and the importance of circularity.
- Friendship and Teamwork: Ellie and Michael's friendship highlights the importance of diverse talents—science and art, logic and creativity—working together toward a bigger goal. There isn’t just one type of ‘smart’.
- Courage and Curiosity: The bravery to ask questions, experiment, and stand up for what’s right underpins Ellie’s journey.
The science parts are explained clearly and actually made me interested, even when I didn’t know much about the subject. I liked the way the book shows that science can be exciting and creative, not just something you learn in school. The story also has plenty of mystery and humour, too, which kept me wanting to find out what would happen next.
The characters are easy to like, and Ellie feels very relatable, especially if you’ve ever felt different or passionate about learning. There is also a strong message about caring for the world, asking questions, and believing in yourself, which comes across natural and without feeling forced.
Overall, it’s an entertaining and educational story that both kids and adults can enjoy. It’s the kind of book that makes you curious and leaves you thinking even after you’ve finished it, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys adventure with a smart twist.
