Itch: The Explosive Adventures of an Element Hunter
Paperback
(Splinter Aug. 5, 2014)
Thrills. Danger. And world domination. Itch is as action-packed and suspenseful as a novel for young readers can get!
Fourteen-year-old Itchingham Lofte, nicknamed Itch, has an unusual passion: collecting specimens of every element in the periodic table. So what if that means he's had a few ... mishaps? But when he gets his hands on a suspiciously warm rock made of a new, previously unknown element, things really begin to explode. Soon, a malevolent teacher, an evil-doing corporation, and a top-secret government agency are all after Itch. Can his science know-how keep him one step ahead of everyone...and help him stay alive? A 2013 Parents' Choice Award Winner: Silver Medal. Cover and jacket flap feature augmented reality animations via a free downloadable Itch app!
