Overview:
Dive into the full Itch trilogy with this gift‑ready 3‑book set from Simon Mayo. This paperback collection gathers Itch, Itch Rocks and Itchcraft in a single, beautifully slipcased bundle, perfect for readers who love science‑driven adventures, fast pacing, and page‑turning twists. Itchingham Lofte—affectionately known as Itch—is a fourteen‑year‑old element hunter who treats the periodic table like a compass for danger and discovery. Across the three novels, young readers ride a rollercoaster of scientific curiosity and high‑stake suspense, where a mysterious new element can change everything. From the very first explosive discovery to escalating threats and globe‑spanning intrigue, these books blend accessible science with thrilling escapades, making complex ideas feel exciting rather than intimidating. The slipcase bundle is a thoughtful gift for fans of adventure, science, and gripping mysteries, delivering a complete reading journey in one premium package that’s ready to be treasured on any bookshelf.
What Makes This Collection Special:
This is more than a triple of stories—it’s a cohesive reading journey that follows Itch and his friends as their quests grow bolder and the dangers more personal. The set rewards readers who love the way science can drive suspense, offering three distinct narratives that build on each other while staying accessible to younger readers. The brand synergy is strong: a trusted author, a beloved trio of characters, and a recurring “element hunt” premise that turns chemistry into adventure. Gift‑ready, the slipcase presentation elevates the experience, making it ideal for birthdays, celebrations, or school book fairs. It also serves as a natural entry point for reluctant readers who crave fast‑paced plots with smart, curious protagonists—yet who also appreciate a sense of wonder about the real world of science.
Books Included in This Collection:
Itch
Itch introduces Itchingham Lofte, a bright teen who dreams of collecting every element in the periodic table. When a mysterious new element lands in his life, the consequences are immediate and dangerous. The narrative fuses science with high‑octane peril, inviting readers to cheer for Itch as he navigates shadowy motives, clever problem‑solving, and the courage to do what’s right, even when the stakes feel overwhelming. The voice is accessible, the pacing brisk, and the curiosity infectious—an ideal first gateway into science‑thriller fiction for younger teens and curious middle‑grade readers alike.
Itch Rocks
In Itch Rocks, the danger intensifies as Itch’s experiments draw in powerful players who will stop at nothing to obtain the element at the centre of everything. The story expands the cast and the canvas, keeping the science front and centre while weaving in more personal stakes for Itch and his friends. It’s a fast, tension‑driven ride that rewards readers with sharper twists, richer world‑building, and a deeper sense that curiosity can change the world—for better or worse. Readers who loved the first book will relish the escalation and the way the characters respond under mounting pressure.
Itchcraft
The trilogy culminates with Itchcraft, a globe‑spanning chase sparked by a school trip to Spain that spirals into explosive chaos and a deadly vendetta. Itch, together with his allies, must outsmart a ruthless foe who wants the element for their own ends. It’s the perfect blend of scientific intrigue, espionage‑style suspense, and heart, as the team balances loyalty with danger and learns what it means to protect what matters most. The resolution feels earned, thrilling, and emotionally satisfying for readers ready to close the loop on Itch’s unforgettable journey.
