If Not You Then Who?: Who Turned Off the Lights? (If Not You, Then Who? Mystery Book 1)
The husband-wife children’s book co-author team of David and Emberli Pridham is at it again – this time, they’ve launched a whole new kid’s book series featuring a family that helps protect inventors and their milestone inventions against evil doers plotting to undo their work and alter history for the worse. With four wonderful and rambunctious children of their own, the Pridham’s did not have to go far for inspiration for their fictitious family. David and Emberli first gained national recognition for their award-winning children’s picture book series If Not You, Then Who? introducing grade schoolers to the world of invention. The co-authoring couple continue sharing the extraordinary history of inventors and inventions with their all-new fun and action-packed adventure chapter book series, If Not you then Who?: Who Turned Off the Lights? (If Not You, Then Who? Mystery Book 1).
Now available via the If Not You, Then Who book series website (www.ifnotyoubooks.com) as well as through all online bookstores and on Amazon via Kindle, If Not you then Who?: Who Turned Off the Lights? takes young readers on bold and thrilling adventures into history as they join the Sparks family on secret missions to confront the villainous Emperor Entropy, the family’s arch enemy who seeks to undo the milestone achievements of the world’s great inventors. In the first chapter book, Brooke, Noah, Graham, and Lily Sparks together with their scientist parents travel to 1880 to protect one of the most important inventions of all time: the electric light bulb. When the world suddenly goes dark, replaced by candles and gas lamps, the kids know it must be their old enemy Emperor Entropy, once again meddling with history. This time, Entropy stopped Thomas Edison from inventing the light bulb, leaving future generations in darkness. With the help of their scientist parents and their lovable robot dog, Chronos, the Sparks kids race to Menlo Park, New Jersey, to find Edison. But they discover he’s abandoned the light bulb for a frivolous gadget. Now, it’s up to the Sparks siblings to rekindle his spark of ingenuity before Emperor Entropy succeeds in erasing electric light forever.
As children read the If Not You, Then Who? books, they will discover how inventors take note of the problems people face in their daily lives and help solve them through creativity and innovation. And along the way, the Pridhams share ways in which kids can embark on their own journey of invention and work to help build a better world.
