When the power goes out at home, young scientist Curious McCarthy
hypothesizes that when there is no electricity at the house, one of the
seven McCarthy kids will get in trouble. The power comes back of before
the hypothesis is proven true, but Curious's interest in electricity has
been sparked. Using funny footnotes, Curious shares her observations of
school and home in a crazy story featuring electrons, arm wrestling,
cooties, and batteries made out of fruit! A glossary, discussion
questions, and writing prompts provide reading support, while a related
science experiment adds to the fun.
