The Secret Science Society In Space by Kathy Hoopmann and Josie Montano. Illus. by Ann-Marie Finn

Mona likes to moan. Kiki is a worry-wart. Bart loves following rules. And Zane HATES following rules. When the four of them are put into The Secret Science Society together, they have to find a way to work that suits all their particular idiosyncrasies. And their task is to come up with a prize-winning experiment.

This is the second in this series that will appeal to those independent young readers who like to combine science and reading, while being able to appreciate and value the fact that sometimes it takes some very diverse characters and thinking to achieve something spectacular and even the wildest ideas should be considered.
