Bookroo's summary

At the second grade science fair, chaos reigns as students tackle global warming with wild inventions. Ivy and Bean, best friends with a knack for the unexpected, must decide on their project. Will they choose explosions, ropes, or something entirely different? As they brainstorm, the stakes rise, and their creativity is put to the test. Can they come up with a project that stands out among man-eating robots and breath-holding feats? Dive into a world where imagination knows no bounds and every idea could lead to a surprising twist.

From the publisher

It’s the Science Fair, and the second grade is all over it! Some kids are making man-eating robots. Some kids are holding their breath for a very, very long time. Some kids are doing interesting things with vacuum cleaners. The theme, obviously, is global warming. But what should Ivy and Bean do? Something involving explosions? Or ropes? Something with ice cubes? Or maybe…maybe something different.
