Halley Harper, Science Girl Extraordinaire: Summer Set in Motion is a children's adventure novel written by Tracy Borgmeyer. Nine-year-old Halley Harper is a science prodigy. Labeled lovingly as Miss Disaster by her parents due to her tendency to cause minor accidents like clogging up sinks with her experiments, Halley is excited at the prospect of being sent to Camp Eureka -- a science camp for kids -- with her best friend, Gracelyn. Upon arrival, Ms. Mac, the Camp Director, announced to the assembled kids that they were going to perform experiments related to Newton's Laws of Motion. Halley and Gracelyn are grouped with a boy named Nathan in Team Comet. However, someone was trying to sabotage Camp Eureka to shut it down forever. Will Halley be able to prevent that from happening?
A fun-filled adventure story with valuable lessons on science for kids, Halley Harper, Science Girl Extraordinaire: Summer Set in Motion is an absolute joy to read. The narrative follows Halley Harper, a sweet young girl who finds it difficult to fit in except in things involving science. She is a quirky character with a colorful and vibrant personality. Her spunky attitude, combined with her thirst for knowledge, makes her an immensely likable character young readers will find easy to root for. I particularly enjoyed her friendships with Gracelyn and Nathan. Author Tracy Borgmeyer also infuses the narrative with some fun ways to teach Newton's Laws of Motion that'll appeal to youngsters interested in science. This is an entertaining adventure novel for preteens.
