Review

This is the story of four very different children, all put together to work on the same science project. Each of them have their own unique ways, and do not really get along that well!


Zane is always looking for excitement and has trouble concentrating, Kiki is anxious about everything, Bart likes things to be done exactly as they should be, and Mona never seems to be happy about anything!


Can this group of four individuals manage to work as a team to pull it all together for the upcoming science expo?


This is a great story about strengths and weaknesses, diversity and acceptance, and learning to work together. Not to mention that it highlights how much fun can be had with science experiments!


All primary readers aged 8+ are sure to enjoy this book.
