Phineas L. MacGuire...Blasts Off!

(2) 1-3 Illustrated by Preston McDaniels. Phineas "Mac" MacGuire needs to make some money in order to go to Space Camp. A routine dog-walking job turns interesting when saliva, Petri dishes, and a documentary intersect. Readers will love the casual but accurate scientific information coupled with Mac's realistic friendships. Age-appropriate humor moves the story along, and amusing black-and-white illustrations add to the fun. Mars-related experiments are appended.
