A funny and fascinating look at different types of energy and where things go -from food to solar - in the world around us!
Explore the energy all around us. Follow the journey that different types of energy take.

This book takes you on a funny whirlwind journey where you'll find out about different energy types, where they come from, where they go and the lasting effect they have on our planet.
Where Does it Go? is a humorous science series aimed at 7-9 year olds about states of matter explored through the world around us - how they feature in our daily lives (including in our body) and where they end up!

Kyle Beckett (Illustrator)
In the third grade, Kyle sold a drawing of a bluebird wearing sunglasses at lunch. His payment? One chocolate chip cookie! From that first commission on, he knew he wanted to be an illustrator. It wasn't until much later (he had almost finished eating his cookie) that he decided to be a writer, too. Growing up in Rockford, Illinois, he started putting drawings and words on every piece of paper he could find, and maybe even a wall or two. It's been a long time since third grade, but not much has changed about Kyle. He still writes and draws stories for anyone who likes the quirky, the strange and the not-so-serious.
