Todd and Joey are scratching their heads, as they do every year, about a topic for the science fair. Miss Bromide tells them to get ideas from every day life, but they just don’t get it.
Joey’s mother never has time to help – she is looking after the family alone and works long hours. Joey’s next-door neighbour tries to subtly hint to Joey how he could do his science project and help his mother at the same time.
Sandy McKay is certainly a flexible writer having covered a number of topics and a number of age groups in her various novels from Recycled (for the younger readers) to Losing It (for Secondary level)
It is great to have junior chapter books such as Eureka! for the younger readers. It has a good plot with no pictures but it will not be a daunting read for those graduating to the “big kids” books. It will be a good read aloud in the classroom too.
