Reviews
Library Media Connection
“Positioning science in real-life situations… is a strong point of this series.” —Library Media Connection
School Library Journal
“These books are a fun way to teach basic science, and they are particularly good for readers who struggle with gleaning information from wordy textbooks…. Imagine a Scooby-Doo episode with Velma in charge and you get the feel for this brainy way to solve a mystery.” —School Library Journal
Booklist
“The frequent informational asides and suggested experiments (both in the story and in the addenda) should prove fun and fascinating for the curious. The art skillfully suggests enthusiasm through animated facial expressions, and its cartoon aesthetic imbues the story with a light touch.” —Booklist
Kirkus Reviews
“Budding ‘braaaiiinnns’ may be tempted to repeat some of the experiments for themselves.” —Kirkus Reviews
