This is the first book in a middle grade school series that is sure to get kids thinking of science and fantasy. This special high school is full of smart kids and the big project is the science fair. However, Newton is so new he doesn’t remember anything. He doesn’t know how he got to the high school or where he came from. But he knows he’s supposed to be there and now hast to not only fit in figure out if he can be as mad scientist as everyone else. Reading this book reminds me of the Pixar movie Meet the Robinsons. The idea that science can do anything if you only put imagination to it. This book and was fun. The worldbuilding was unique and I’m not ready to see this end. Apparently, there are six books and I plan to finish this series.
