In 1950 two scientists and a cat took genetic modification to a very unnatural conclusion. The results were unexpected, bizarre and highly entertaining. 'Samples from the Lab' is an illustrated scientific journal that chronicles the awkward and amusing experiments of Professor Fictitious Karacter, his misguided attempts to meddle with nature and the eventual, disastrous results. Samples from the Lab garnered complete funding within 5 hours through an immensely successful Kickstarter campaign, amassing NZ$65958 and surpassing its goal by 1300% during the course of its 30-day campaign. The book appeals to readers of all ages especially 12 upwards with delightful humour and enchanting illustrations that bring the story to life, making it a charming and engaging read for the young and young at heart.
