Narrado por: Jennifer Saunders

Ellie doesn’t believe in magic. She believes in science.

But when her school burns down in roaring purple flames, her favourite teacher gives her mysterious Elemental Bracers, and she’s invited to join a secret society of the world’s smartest minds, Ellie realises not everything has a logical explanation…Packed with adventure, humour, and just a bit of chaos, Ellie Ment and the Material Matter is where chemistry meets courage, physics bends reality, and curiosity might just save the world.

Narrated by JENNIFER SAUNDERS — the iconic star of Absolutely Fabulous, French & Saunders, Death on the Nile, and Shrek 2.
