Thirteen-year-old Sidney Jamison is bored with school and getting in trouble for taking apart household appliances, but everything changes when he transfers to Sci Hi, where students play Zero-G dodgeball and work together to solve such real-world problems as Colony Collapse Disorder.

"When Sci Hi's school for whiz kids is blasted 400 million years into the past, Paleontology class gets way more real--and way more lethal. To jump forward through time, Sidney, Hari, and Penny must survive slimy trilobites, paleo sharks, and hungry dinos"--

A selection of forty-four true stories and anecdotes from the fields of science, history, biography, and adventure.

SCUBA diving in the Pacific. Tuna-salad sandwiches. An underwater lab. Life can't get any better for Sidney Jamison. But it can definitely get weirder. When Sidney, Penny, and Hari are invited to help the marine biologists at WAVElab study the mysterious deaths of deep-water fish, they find more questions than answers. How did a prehistoric fish land in the lab? Why are scientists disappearing from the underwater habitat? What happens if parallel universes exist--and the creatures that live in them have an appetite that's out of this world?

¿Una criatura que parece un cruce entre un pájaro, un reptil y un mamífero? ¿Un insecto rosa que expulsa tonxinas mortales? Suenan como criaturas de una película de alienígenas, pero viven con nosostros aquí mismo, en la Tierra. Aprende más sobre estos y sobre otros animales raros con este libro.
