The Secret Science Alliance



Title: The Secret Science Alliance and the Copycat Crook

Author: Eleanor Davis

ISBN: 1599903962


Summary/Review: Julian gets a second chance when he moves to a new school. No longer will he have to be Brainiac or Geek or Super Nerd! He tries really hard to be "normal" on his first few days, hoping to avoid getting stuffed into lockers or teased for being smart. But when he lets his guard down and begins babbling about aerodynamics during science class, the truth is revealed. Luckily for Julian, this turns out to be a good thing. Ben, whom Julian had written off as "dumb jock," and Greta, who seemed to be a scary troublemaker, recruit Julian into their science club. The three of them rename themselves The Secret Science Alliance and spend the whole school year creating new gadgets, gizmos and scientific pranks. But when a thieving scientist steals their invention notebook, The Secret Science Alliance must get serious. How do they stop the perpetrator from putting their projects to evil uses? Can Julian stop a crime, or just create witty "Kick Me" signs? Their skills get put to the test in this brilliant graphic novel. I'd recommend the book to anyone 8 and up who loves science, graphic novels, humor, and entertaining adventure stories.
