**NOW IN PAPERBACK!
**
When middle school mishaps happen, five friends form the S.M.A.R.T.
Squad and use their collective skills and the power of science to bring
order to their school.
Science reigns supreme with this squad of young brainiacs. Join Izzy
Newton and her friends in the first adventure of this fun new
middle-grade fiction series from National Geographic Kids. A crowded new
school and a crazy class schedule is enough to make Izzy feel dizzy. It
may be the first day of middle school, but as long as her best friends
Allie Einstein and Charlie Darwin are by her side, Izzy knows it'll all
be okay. However, first-day jitters take an icy turn when Izzy's old pal
Marie Curie comes back to town. Instead of a warm welcome, Marie gives
her former pal the cold shoulder. The problems pile up when the school's
air-conditioning goes on the fritz and the temperature suddenly drops to
near freezing. The adults don't seem to have a clue how to thaw out the
school. Cold temperatures and a frigid friendship? Izzy has had enough
of feeling like an absolute zero. She rallies the girls to use their
brainpower and science smarts to tackle the school's chilly mystery ...
and hopefully to fix a certain frozen friendship along the way. **Will
the girls succeed and become the heroes of Atom Middle School?

From the acclaimed co-creator of the American Girl books series, this
new series celebrates girl-power, STEM, friendship, diversity, and the
power of being yourself.
It's one thing to have children's books about scientists or podcasts or
stories about strong women in STEM, but it's another world entirely when
your children get to feel represented by the characters they're reading
about. -Romper
