Zooniverse is a fun series for readers 8+, written by author Nova Weetman and published by Hardie Grant Children’s Publishing.

It follows the adventures of best friends Noah and Blue who, with the help of a magical book, design and bring to life their weird MASHIMAL creations.

These books have been a joy to work on. With 4 books already in the works, I hope there are many more to come.

Also scroll down if you’d like to download Noah and Blue’s Activity pack. Full of games, puzzles and creative excercises to keep your child or classroom busy!

Collect all 4 ZOONIVERSE adventures in the series


The Outstanding Octokey is a delightful caper for early readers; it’s a hilarious, wacky, magical adventure that’s still very much grounded in reality. The story is packed full of fun animals facts (I for one didn’t know that octopuses don’t have tentacles, they’re technically just arms) which does mean some complicated words like “bilaterally symmetrical” make an appearance but the book does a good job of explaining what they mean to the reader. The text is accompanied by Chris Kennett’s larger than life black and white illustrations throughout.
— The Younger Sun Reviews
This really is a great new series about inventing, friendship and imagination, but it isn’t all just fun. There are numerous facts about each of the different animals scattered throughout the story, and readers are sure to learn a thing or two about each of them!

This is an action-packed zany adventure that is ideally suited to younger readers 8+, particularly boys.
