Review by Annie P.
Who would like this book? Anyone who likes humor and Star Wars. It’s also a good book for science geeks.
Why? Every year at Hubble Middle School, they have a school science fair, and every year, one of the ME (Manor Estates) kids wins. Everyone knows that the ME kids cheat on their projects, but no one has any proof, so they can’t disqualify their projects. This year, the ME kids’ project plans came from a mysterious person who wants to take over America. When Toby, Tamera, and Micah find out about the terrorist attack ahead, they do everything in their power to destroy the ME kids’ science fair projects that are the key to the attack. They go through some pretty desperate measures, including getting arrested by the FBI and police, and driving a weinermobile into a helicopter. At the same time, two really weird guys, who think they are Star Wars characters, are trying to steal Toby’s parent’s Star Wars collection.
