Simon Bloom, an otherwise ordinary kid, mysteriously receives a "teacher's edition" that empowers him to manipulate gravity and friction. Along with two friends, he discovers that the "teacher's edition" connects him to a scientific council of pseudo-superheroes, resulting in a science-oriented series of battles. For those who enjoy the pacing of the Alex Rider series and enjoy science, this book is a well-paced first novel in a forthcoming series. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0525479228, Hardcover)

Sixth-grader Simon Bloom can’t believe his luck when he finds a book that enables him to control the laws of physics. By simply reciting the formulas it contains, he can cancel gravity to fly around his bedroom, or decrease friction so he can slide down the street as if he were on Rollerblades. When two thugs with evil intentions come after Simon, he must use the formulas to save himself and the book from falling into their hands. This funny, fast, and imaginative novel from first-time author Michael Reisman will appeal to fans of both fantasy and action-adventure.
