New York Times bestselling authors Bill Nye the Science Guy and
Gregory Mone take middle-grade readers on a scientific adventure in
the launch of an exciting new chapter book series, Jack and the
Geniuses. The perfect combination to engage and entertain readers,
the series features real-world science along with action and a
mystery that will leave kids guessing until the end, making these
books ideal for STEM education. In the series opener, Jack and the
Geniuses: At The Bottom of The World, readers meet Jack and his
foster siblings, Ava and Matt, who are orphans. But they're not
your typical kind of orphans they're geniuses. Well, Ava and Matt
are, which sometimes makes life difficult for 1twelve-year-old
Jack. Ava speaks multiple languages and builds robots for fun, and
Matt is into astronomy and a whiz at math. As for Jack, it's hard
to stand out when he's surrounded by geniuses all the time. When
the kids try to spy on Dr. Hank Witherspoon, one of the world's
leading scientists, they end up working for him in his incredible
laboratory. Soon, Hank and the kids travel to Antarctica for a
prestigious science competition, but they find that all is not as
it seems: A fellow scientist has gone missing, and so has any trace
of her research. Could someone be trying to use her findings to win
the contest? It's up to Jack, Ava, and Matt to find the missing
scientist and discover who's behind it all before it's too late.
Integrating real science facts with humor and suspense, and
featuring an ensemble cast of loveable boy and girl characters,
this uniquely engaging series is an irresistible chemical reaction
for middle-grade readers. With easy-to-read language presented in a
fun, motivating, and accessible way, this series opener is a great
book for both inquisitive kids and reluctant readers. The book also
includes information about the science discussed and used to solve
the mystery, as well as a cool science project about density that
kids can do at home or in the classroom. Bill Nye's brand new talk
show series for Netflix, "Bill Nye Saves the World" is set to
launch in Spring 2017.
