Googol and Googolplex are on a mission to learn about Earth by collecting a number of items including a blackbird’s song, snowballs and a chocolate bar. Pippa and Troy are happy to help, especially when they get to ride to the North Pole in a spaceship. But when they return, Martin, the bully next-door, sees something that he shouldn't.

Book two is Under the Sea with Googol and Googolplex. Book three is Over the Rainbow with Googol and Googolplex.
