4-6Genius Factor series.
Illustrated by
Thierry Lafontaine.
In this third zany, laugh-out-loud installment, the villainous Red Death Tea Society is after seventh-grade genius inventor Nate's latest experiments, held in various scientific vials Nate has hidden throughout town. As usual, things do not go well--animals roaming the streets, unending lightning storms--but Nate and best friend/narrator Delphine use Nate's gadgets and teamwork to creatively outwit evil.
