  • Science Fair Day

    Lynn Plourde, Thor Wickstrom

    Hardcover (Dutton Books for Young Readers, Jan. 24, 2008)
    Ima Kindanozee likes to know anything and everything going on around her. She always asks plenty of questions. And the perfect day to ask questions is Science Fair Day. But perhaps she doesn?t need to flip that switch on Josephina?s spaceship project, or touch that bone on Dewey?s dinosaur skeleton in order to find her answers. Will Mrs. Shepherd be able to put Ima?s snoopiness to good use before the principal arrives to judge the science fair? This fifth story about the silly students in Mrs. Shepherd?s class has the same endearing and funny chemistry as its predecessors.

    Paperback (Hyperion Book CH, Feb. 8, 2011)
    Grdankl the Strong, president of Kprshtskan, is plotting to take over the American government. His plan is to infiltrate the science fair at Hubble Middle School, located in a Maryland suburb just outside Washington. The rich kids at Hubble cheat by buying their projects every year, and Grdankl’s cronies should have no problem selling them his government-corrupting software. But this year, Toby Harbinger, a regular kid with Discount Warehouse shoes, is determined to win the $5,000 prize—even if he has to go up against terrorists to do it. With the help of his best friends, Tamara and Micah, Toby takes on Assistant Principal Paul Parmit, aka "The Armpit", a laser-eyed stuffed owl, and two eBay buyers named Darth and the Wookiee who seem to think that the Harrison-Ford-signed BlasTech DL-44 blaster Toby sold them is a counterfeit. What transpires is a hilarious adventure filled with mystery, suspense, and levitating frogs.

    Toby Harbinger, an eighth grader at Hubble Middle School near Washington, D.C., is in big trouble. He made the mistake of selling his dad’s priceless original Star Wars blaster to a lunatic who thinks he’s Darth Vader and travels with a large, hairy sidekick known as the Wookiee. Now the lunatic wants more from Toby, whose only hope of getting out of this mess is to win first prize at the school science fair: $5,000.But others want the prize too―a group of rich students and their super-ambitious, high-powered parents, who will stop at nothing to see their spoiled kids win. What these parents don’t know is that an evil mastermind is using them to get hold of top-secret military technology as part of a fiendish plan to destroy the United States.When Toby discovers this plot, he and his two best friends, Tamara and Micah, try to alert the school authorities, including the fearsome principal, known as The Hornet. But powerful forces are working against Toby and his friends: they’re snared in a frame-up and get taken into federal custody, facing espionage charges. Meanwhile, the mastermind proceeds with his evil plan of destruction. In a desperate bid to escape, the kids find themselves in league with a fairly mad scientist and two bumbling foreign dignitaries armed with cheese so smelly it is used as wolf repellent. With the seconds ticking away and the FBI close on their heels, this bizarre band sets off on a madcap mission to stop the science fair―and save the country―before it’s too late.…

    Every year Hubble Middle School holds a big science fair, which all the students have to enter. It's very competitive: The first prize is $5,000 cash, donated by a Hubble alum who's an Internet billionaire. The problem is, the prize is always won by rich kids from Manor Estates who cheat-- their hyper-ambitious parents hire "coaches" who do the work for the kids, so the kids will have good resumes for college. It turns out that one of the "coaches" is a thug from the country of Kprshtskan -- a country with no vowels. He's actually helping the kids to build components to an EMD -- electro-magnetic device -- that will render all computer chips in the DC area useless, shutting down the federal government. This project, under the cover of a middle school science fair, is relying on the insane competitiveness of the rich parents to actually pay to construct this device. Our heroes figure this out, but of course nobody believes them -- they're just fighting dirty and trying to get the M. E. kids disqualified. They have to disarm the weapon before it's effective and expose the agents from Kprshtskan. And of course, by doing so, win the science fair and the money prize.
