Bookroo's summary
Fifth-grade detectives Drake and Nell face thrilling mysteries: a werewolf at a campsite, a fake T. rex skeleton, a talking oven, and a polluted stream. Can they solve these science-laden puzzles and uncover the truth behind each bizarre case? With each challenge, they delve into the wonders of science, from Earth's core pressure to ecological impacts, inviting young readers to join their investigative journey and even try experiments themselves. Will their scientific skills be enough to crack the cases?
