Electricity, from lightning to the power grid

A city-protecting mech is disabled by a lightning strike, setting up a graphic-novel adventure that introduces the science behind electrical power. The book connects the story’s emergency with topics ranging from simple circuits and lightning to power plants, wind farms, and large-scale grids. Its scope moves between where electricity comes from and how people harness it for everyday uses, such as lighting a room. The comic format brings these concepts into a narrative setting while keeping electricity itself at the center.
