Parker Bell plans to be a famous scientist, like her heroes Jane Goodall and Mae Jemison. So she's thrilled when her school sets up a big science competition! With her best friend Cassie, who's also an excellent scientist (and, more importantly, willing to let Parker decide things) they're sure to win. But Cassie insists on bringing her new friend, Theo, into the mix and he's not scientific at all - in fact, back in 2nd grade he messed up Parker's assignment and it seems like all he cares about are chickens!

Can Parker come up with a great scientific presentation and keep her friendship with Cassie at the same time?

I've been going through a slew of beginning chapters/early middle grade titles that feature girls interested in science and, to be honest, this one isn't rising to the top for me. It falls back on the "sidekick of color" formula and I'm skeptical about the realism of the school presented and the big science competition. I also didn't care for the illustrations, although they are only early proofs. The cover didn't grab me and I'm doubtful it will grab kids. Naturally, I approve of the guinea pig theme, but would elementary-age kids be able to create and program guinea pig robots, even if one is a coding whiz?

Verdict: The book has generally good reviews and, although a bit predictable (nobody will be surprised that Parker eventually realizes she has things in common with Theo and can be friends with him and Cassie) it's a plot that will keep fans of science and realistic fiction reading. Ultimately, I'd call it an additional purchase, preferring Frankie Sparks, Zoey and Sassafrass, and Ellie Engineer for my collection.

I loved reading these books when I was little. I found it easy to relate to him and all the stuff he gets himself into. His curiosity drives him like most kids do.
