Princess Olivia Investigates: The Wrong Weather
Olivia Alez is delighted about finally living a life away from the royal palace in the mountains that used to be her home after the Kingdom of Alez decides it absolutely doesn't want a royal family any more. Now she can finally give up boring princess lessons and learn about real things, like volcanoes and the ocean and space!
But Olivia is completely unprepared for the world that awaits her. Thick, dark clouds hang low over the city, and the rivers that she so longed to see are choked with rubbish. And on top of it all, the weather just feels wrong. With scorching hot sun one day and torrential rainfall the next, it seems nearly impossible for the people and animals in Alez to adapt to their extreme climate.
Olivia, horrified by what she sees, becomes determined to get to the bottom of Alez's dangerous weather patterns. With the help of some new friends and armed with a scientific lab coat that would make Albert Einstein jealous, Olivia sets out to solve the mystery and save Alez from climate destruction before it's too late . . .

Princess Olivia Investigates: The Knights of Nature
The third title in this unique series by global bestseller and science educator Lucy Hawking about a former princess desperate to find out about the world around her - and what she can do to help it. Illustrated throughout by Zoe Persico and with fascinating non-fiction sections from world-renowned scientists, this is perfect for readers 7 and over.
Olivia much prefers life as a scientist to life as a princess. And now she has to solve her biggest science mystery yet!
‘We have done some investigations into the changes we see, feel and experience in the climate around us. You might not want to know about these changes, but you need to know about them because this is the world you’re going to leave to us young people when we’re adults!’
Olivia and her best friends, Ravi and Helga, aka The Climate Crew, start to realise that the problems in the environment around them are all connected to each other,
and all to do with the way the Earth is being looked after by everybody on it. They need to help.
When they realise that a group called the Knights of Nature, set up years and years ago, believe the same things they do and also want to help, they decide to work together.
Protecting Alez’s weather and countryside and animals and people – and, well, everything, really! – awaits them.
