Noah Grow is a bird-watcher. If you're picturing some kid in a big
floppy hat, peering up into trees through giant binoculars . . . well,
good job. That's exactly what he does. Right now, Noah is on a quest
to find a wood duck. According to his calculations, aka the Drake
Equation, the odds are good -- really good -- for spotting one.
That's why he gets off the bus at the wrong stop. And that's how he ends
up running down a hill, crashing into a fence, and landing right next to
a strange, glittery disk.
Noah and his best friends, Jason and Jenny, soon discover that the
mysterious disk is, well, mysterious. It gives Noah peculiar powers.
As things go from odd to outrageous, Noah is swept up in a storm of
intergalactic intrigue and middle-school mayhem. There's much more at
stake than Noah realizes.
Bart King delivers a hilarious sci-fi adventure with just the right mix
of heart and humor that will have readers looking out for birds-and
strange alien objects.
