Brendan Buckley is headed to middle school on a whole new adventure.

But their partnership clicks, and they embark on a methane-producing experiment involving bottles, balloons, and the freshest cow manure they can find. As Brendan spends more time on the experiment, he has a lot of big questions: Does his police detective dad really think hes a science-nerd whimp? Will he and Khalfani, his best friend and Tae Kwon Do sparring partner, remain best friends? And can Brendan prove that his scientific pursuits really be world-changing? *Brendan is both nerdy and immensely likable. . . . The prickliness between Brendan and his father is handled with particular deftness., Recommended "Middle schoolers and science projects make for enjoyable combustible fiction. . . . The role of racism and family history is key in shaping these multifaceted characters. . . . appealing Brendan should keep readers fully engaged." Children will enjoy the ups and downs of Brendans sixth-grade year and wait eagerly for his future exploits.
