Synopsis

CAT KNOWS ALIENS ARE REAL, AND SHE’S DETERMINED TO PROVE IT.

By studying the Weston Farm Circles, her town’s legendary crop circle phenomenon, she’ll not only demonstrate the existence of extraterrestrial life, but also win the McMurray Youth Science Competition—a feat she’s sure will impress her distant NASA scientist father.

Dani most certainly does not believe in aliens. How can she, when they go against every scientific principle she’s been taught? So when Dani is paired with Cat to enter the McMurray Youth Science Competition—which she has to win to avoid going to her parents’ artsy summer camp—she knows she’s at a disadvantage. Her solution? Disprove Cat’s theory, of course … without telling her partner her true intentions.

But as the girls bond over science, it becomes clear that there is something strange about the Weston Farm Circles. And when Dani and Cat’s project is threatened by suspicious forces, they’ll have to work together to expose the truth, once and for all.

"Crackling with wit, smarts, spunk, and surprises, this is a must-read for sciencelovers, alien-believers, and anyone who wants to get lost in a satisfying story."—Corey Ann Haydu, author of The Widely Unknown Myth of Apple and Dorothy and One Jar of Magic

4.5/5 stars Dani entered Cat's attic lair. That was really the only way to describe it: Her bedroom was like a mad scientist, a conspiracy theorist, and a detective had opened an interior decorating company. Meet #ScienceAndStrange, aka Dani and Cat. Two aspiring seventh-graders entering as partners t......more

Cat is the biggest weirdo in the seventh grade and she’s determined to prove aliens are creating crop circles at a local farm every thirteen years. Dani wants to get a scholarship to a science camp but her only chance to win one is by pairing u......more
