A new school. A design challenge. A magic eyePad disappears. Nancy Drew meets MacGyver in this mystery STEM adventure!
Twelve-year old aspiring artist/inventor Putney Hicks is panicked over her move to an experimental STEM school. Even magical mentor, Sam, can't save Putney from her own klutziness. After all, you just can't escape yourself... or arch-rival Sue Wexford.
"Anything you can do, I can buy better," taunts Sue.
Those words haunt Putney. Can she use what she learns about rapid prototyping to come up with a clever solution to beat Sue's high-tech entry in a design challenge?
When her magic eyePad goes missing at school, can she solve the mystery and save the day? Or will she end up eternally humiliated as Sue's slave-for-a-day?
Magic and misadventure meet STEM - science, technology, engineering, math - in this fun series about friendship, middle school, and the engineering design process.
These books are great for kids who loved Rosie Revere, Engineer, The Secret Lake, A Wrinkle in Time and Nancy Drew, and are looking for more adventure and real-life projects. Check out www.putneydesigns.com for more project details and experiments!
