Second of the six book series about science detectives is again engaging and has great factual information in the back section which is a really good addition to assist the younger readers, including activities that can be done. It is three that it really does remind me of The Curiosity Show.

More science stories. When I'd first come across this series I was very skeptical. I wasn't sure what there could be to like about SCIENCE stories.

This is such a cute and interesting chapter book invoking science and mystery. Every two chapters is a new story so readers can read it in parts if they prefer. Children will have fun trying to figure out the mystery and learn something from each one.
it is a very good book but i really didn't enjoy it because because it wasn't interesting because i really didnt understand it it go from one subject to another so it is very confusing!!!!!!!!!but seem like a good book!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meh, promising premise but yawn.
Drake Doyle and Nell Fossey, science detectives. They are very punctural, precise, and professional. Fun to read.
