Description
New York Times bestselling authors Bill Nye the Science Guy and Gregory Mone take middle-grade readers on a scientific adventure with an exciting new chapter book series, Jack and the Geniuses. The series combines real-world science with action and mystery, making it ideal for engaging readers and supporting STEM education.
In the series opener, Jack and the Geniuses: At The Bottom of The World, readers meet Jack and his foster siblings, Ava and Matt, who are orphans. However, they're not typical orphans—they're geniuses. Ava, fluent in multiple languages, builds robots for fun, and Matt, a math whiz, is passionate about astronomy. In contrast, twelve-year-old Jack finds it challenging to shine amidst his extraordinarily talented siblings.
The story takes a thrilling turn when the kids attempt to spy on Dr. Hank Witherspoon, one of the world's leading scientists, and unexpectedly end up working for him in his amazing laboratory. Their adventure escalates when Hank and the kids travel to Antarctica for a prestigious science competition. There, they face a mystery: a fellow scientist has disappeared, along with her research. The question arises—could someone be attempting to use her findings to win the competition? It's up to Jack, Ava, and Matt to find the missing scientist and uncover the truth before it's too late.
Integrating real science with humour and suspense, and featuring a charming ensemble cast, this series provides an irresistible chemical reaction for middle-grade readers. The language is easy to read and presented in a fun and accessible way, making it perfect for both inquisitive kids and reluctant readers. The book includes fascinating science information related to the mystery and offers a cool science project about density that kids can try at home or in the classroom.
Bill Nye's brand new talk show series for Netflix, Bill Nye Saves the World, is set to launch in Spring 2017.
