As an inventor, Millicent knows this formula by heart. But a series of failures — like the Ever-Juicy Gum Enhancer Pellet (a bit too juicy) and the Retractable Ponytail Holder (a hairy mess) — have left her a few beakers short on faith. Even Millicent's best friends in The Wunderkind Club are ready to give up on her inventions.
Bully-Be-Gone, her latest creation, should be the breakthrough Millicent needs. After all, her formula for thwarting the enemies of overachievers everywhere is foolproof.
Almost foolproof.
Before long, Millicent has a disaster of monumental proportions on her hands. With only days to concoct an antidote, her friendships — and her future as an inventor — hang in the balance.
Brian Tacang's debut novel takes readers on a wild ride through the fantastic town of Masonville, where eccentric scientists and burly librarians, long-lost circus performers and bullies abound, and where science and miracles sometimes collide.
