Mamma Bookworm review

A wonderful science story!!

The Prometheus Project by Douglas E. Richards is a fantastic, exciting read and would be a great asset to any science teachers classroom.

Brother and sister, Ryan and Regan, are upset that their parents moved them across the country and can't understand why. Just by luck they happen to overhear their parents talking about passwords and secret government projects they have started working on. Fearing for their parents safety, they use the information they overheard to break into the complex and enter a world they could never have imagined.

This book would be a great gift for any child who shows even the slightest interest in science. Ryan and Regan are very bright kids who use several scientific methods and problem solving to work their way through the obstacles they encounter in their adventure.

From figuring out the password puzzles in the first chapters of the book; simple experiments to discover if water is safe to drink; or if the aliens they run across are friend or foe; the book finds great ways to incorporate really interesting science facts without taking away from the story. There were actually quite a few things they figured out that I wouldn't have known myself!

Definitely a good read - could use a little more depth in the characters - but with the age range it is intended for, I predict a lot of happy adventure readers with a new respect for science experiments.
