Mysteries, mishaps and mayhem — Atom Middle School is a mess. As if starting sixth grade isn’t tough enough, an overcrowded school and an overloaded schedule are enough to make Izzy dizzy. But with best friends Allie Einstein and Charlie Darwin by her side, Izzy’s ready to try her hardest. Then first-day jitters take an icy turn when their old pal Marie Curie gives them the cold shoulder in favor of the new girl, Gina Carver. On top of it all, the school’s air conditioning goes on the fritz and the temperature feels like absolute zero. Cold temperatures and a frigid friendship? Izzy rallies the girls to use their brainpower and scientific smarts to solve the school’s chilly mystery and — she hopes — warm up a certain friendship along the way. Science, technology, kindness and humor are an unbeatable combination when Izzy Newton and the S.M.A.R.T. Squad team up and use the scientific method to Solve Mysteries And Reveal Truths. The five brainy buddies have lots of adventures along the way in this educational and fun new series that’s sure to delight girls around the world.
