3rd grader Pablo (originally from Puerto Rico), his best friend Violet and a new boy, Deepak, have a science adventure -- there's so much going on here! The love of science shines through, and there are quick plot twists and turns, with great illustrations. Some friendship drama rounds out the book and there are kid-friendly experiments in the back. The story is very beginning chapter book standard, but it has some depth that will appeal to young readers. (
