Why Salt Melts Road Ice

Iris Fennimore

A boy named Jojo wakes up to streets turned to glass and won't stop asking why until he melts an ice cube race in his teacher's kitchen. Iris Fennimore's science mystery follows one stubborn question from frozen bus stop to school library to the moment salt meets ice on a spoon. Best for curious six to nine year olds who like knowing how things actually work. Duncan Winslow reads with the warm patience of a good teacher, letting Jojo's excitement build and the small experiments feel like real discoveries.
