Ultranerd Julian Calendar hopes he can hide his supersmarts at his new junior high so he can fit in, but then he meets Ben and Greta, two closet brainiacs like himself. The trio forms a secret club with a high-tech hideaway to design goofy and inventive gadgets, all rendered in wildly detailed art. Then an evil scientist grabs their inventions to pull off a midnight heist. Can they foil his plot? The feisty Greta is African American.-Martha Cornog, Philadelphia Copyright 2010 Reed Business Information.
