| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone. I'm Cressida Cowell, author of How to Train Your Dragon, and I'm just popping |
| 0:04.4 | in to tell you about my new book series, Witchway to Anywhere. It's a story about four children |
| 0:10.0 | who discover that there are alternative worlds beyond our own, and that they can travel to them |
| 0:15.3 | with the help of a magical map and a very special gift. Of course, this leads to epic, unexpected |
| 0:21.9 | adventures. Witchway to Anywhere, and its sequel, Witchway Round the Galaxy, are both available |

| 1:39.9 | This time, they're about blood and lava. There's all that and loads more on another fun kid science |
| 1:45.6 | weekly. Let's start things this week looking at the science in the news. Experts think they found |
| 1:56.0 | a planet that could have life. The problem is, it's near a sun that is dying. It is 117 light |
