Description
A new mystery unfolds when Emily and Sam get a new neighbor!
Emily and Sam are excited to see a moving van next door, but the new neighbor isn't quite what they were hoping for. He doesn't have any kids, seems grumpy, wears a weird white lab coat, and he keeps getting heavy boxes delivered to his garage.
Could he really be a mad scientist? And could he have something to do with their friend's missing dogs? The siblings can't accuse him of anything without evidence, so they set out to use the scientific method to prove he's up to something.
The second chapter book in the Emily and Sam series offers opportunities to investigate alongside the siblings to solve the case of the mad scientist next door!
About the authors
David Cole has been interested in math since he was a very young boy. He pursued degrees in math and computer science and has shared this love of math at many levels, including teaching at the college level, coaching elementary math teams, and running a summer math camp. He also has a love of writing and has written a number of plays that have been performed. The Math Kids was born of a desire to combine his interests and exercise both sides of his brain at the same time. Find him on his website or on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
Meet Matty Mitchell, the Aussie-turned-Seattleite who's been wielding a pencil like a wizard since forever! From conjuring web designs at Nintendo to brewing up his own podcast, Matty's creativity knows no bounds. In his off hours, you'll find him concocting all sorts of wacky wonders just for the sheer joy of it.
