Now fully illustrated by Charles Geer with nine new drawings!
The whine of jet engines thunders from above as the giant Air
Force bomber makes its approach to Westport Field. Suddenly, the
citizens of Mammoth Falls are startled to see the bomb bay doors
open and an object drop down, down, directly into Strawberry lake.
Splash!
And what is that object? Why a bomb, what else? Not just a
common, ordinary, conventional bomb, but an atomic bomb! But that's
just the beginning of the latest (actually the first) madcap
adventure - book-length this time - of that outrageous, notorious
threat to municipal sanity known as The Mad Scientists' Club. As
you know, with these boys anything can happen, and it does! This is
book two in the Mad Scientists' Club series.
The six members of the Mad Scientist Club experiment with new projects which include making rain and launching a flying saucer.
Since 1960, both boys and girls have enjoyed reading about Alvin
Fernald and his Magnificent Brain. Whenever it clicks into action
and a glassy stare comes into his eyes, it's time to watch out
Because Alvin is thinking up another marvelous invention.
Maybe it's the Foolproof Burglar Alarm for his bedroom door, or
a Sure Shot Paper Slinger for delivering newspapers from his bike.
Or a Portable Fire Escape, very handy when it comes time to crawl
out the window for a secret meeting with his best pal, Shoie. No
doubt about it, as his sister the Pest says, "Alvin is a genius
"
The hint of a mystery surrounding the old Huntley place is all
Alvin needs to launch a new series of inventions which bring
extraordinary results. His remarkable inventing bench becomes the
scene of frenzied activity. With Shoie and the Pest, who always
tags along, there is never a dull moment as Alvin unfolds the most
brilliant plan of his career.
This is a new release of the original 1959 edition.
This is a new release of the original 1956 edition.
