The Science Club Kids

Sixty-five million years ago, the dinosaurs died. Well, maybe they didn´t croak that instant, but sixty-five million years ago was definitely not a good year for the dinosaurs, who went into a bit of a prolonged decline thereafter.

Sixty-five million years later, eleven year old Gene Beck, a brainy kid who likes reading and eating Zagnut bars more than he likes exercise, is gloomily anticipating his humiliation during Windbag Middle School’s annual fitness test. While contemplating a dark and vile fate, Gene is surprised when two small maple trees—who have been thinking thoughts of their own—introduce themselves as Zeus and Apollo, the ancient Greek gods.

Blending science, mythology, and humor, the Science Club Kids series will entertain readers of all ages.
