Other editions of book Summer and Smoke: The True Adventures of Alexandria, Rocketman and the Mad Scientist

Alexandria wanted to be an astronomer. Arty was a budding Mad Scientist. And together they looked forward to seventh grade. But first they had to solve the mystery of the big old house next door, endure a potentially humiliating pool party, and survive one of the goofiest summers their town had seen in years. Summer and Smoke is a story of flying video cameras, marching vegetables, a rocket-powered bicycle, and an endless stream of robotic Morris dancers that passed through town on their way to . . . where? Follow Alex, Arty, and Rocketman as they pursue a trail of white footprints and lightning bolts, all under the watchful eye of the town busybody. The story culminates with the Great Big Fourth of July Parade – with a huge conflagration lurking just around the corner! It’s a summer no one will ever forget!- - -Mark Woodward lives in Vermont, has been an amateur astronomer and an indifferent inventor – and has two left feet.
