Have you ever picked up a Magic Cube and wondered who invented it, who can solve it, and how in the world you can, too? Jump into this fun and fact-filled picture book to discover the mathematics and magic of the Cube!

In a dusty box, a child finds a colorful cube. Fascinated, they begin to turn it. Soon all the colors are mixed up. Can the cube be solved? And how does it work anyway? Three friends set out to find the answers.

Since 1974, when Rubik invented his famous cube, 500 million Magic Cubes have been sold worldwide. To this day, new speed-cubing records are still being set. Daniel Fehr takes us on a journey through the fascinating world of the Magic Cube, while GOLDEN COSMOS brings pop and verve to the history and technology of the cube in this picture book as bright and colorful as the cube itself.
