The Super-Secret Science Club #1
Case of the Disappearing Glass
I’ll never forget my science teacher’s words the day he recruited us as spies:
"I’m a member of a secret organization called the Rosalind Group, whose original mission was to find and prevent cases of stolen scientific research. But one day, everything changed, and I didn’t understand why. Eventually, I figured it out…we weren't the good guys anymore…the Rosalind Group is no longer protecting scientists from having their research stolen. We’re now the ones who are stealing it."
Apparently research wasn’t all they were stealing; they were stealing the scientists themselves! I suppose “kidnapping” is the proper word. And that’s where we came in.
Six science-savvy seventh graders. One missing scientist. And the need for some serious out-smarting.
But there’s just one more mystery involved: how was I supposed to do this without lying to everyone I know? I was sworn to secrecy…but I ended up breaking my promise.
“Case of the Disappearing Glass” is the first book in the Super-Secret Science Club series. Follow Jenna and her classmates as they unravel mysteries and tackle critical missions, all while trying to survive middle school!

A group of six 7th grade students is informed by their science teacher that they have not been performing well in science and therefore to pass the subject they are given a task to "Make something disappear" without moving, hiding, or changing its original form.
The story starts with how the children develop a project using the concept of Refraction index and seek help from a University professor to complete the assignment. On completing the assignment, their science teacher gets so impressed with the kids that he involves them in a life threating mission.
I felt there were a few fundamental flaws in the story - like a bunch of average 12-year kids easily understanding the complicated subject of Refractive index; a PhD student (assisting a University professor/Scientist) sharing the details of a "work in process" confidential experiment with the students and lending them some oil to demonstrate an experiment of invisibility in their class to pass 7th grade science subject; etc.
The book is first in the series... so you don't get to solve the mystery. Overall the book is good.

This book was free and casually and generally boring. The characters has no feel and it was all just mixed up. The project was nice but made no sense but what can we expect from a free book!? I dare not read the second part as it appears lame as the first book itself.

In general it was an ok book. 3 stars means I liked it enough to read the whole thing. What made it almost 2 stars was the terrible ending. Had I known that it was going to just stop, as if the author just got tired of writing or ran out of pages, I would not have started this book. Had the story had a logical conclusion, I might have bought the next book if it were reasonably priced but I feel like the ending was about forcing the reader to buy the next book. It felt like there was a story that could have been wrapped up and been a fine stand alone book. Then the spy stuff could have been a separate book using the same characters. As for the content, it was clean. Nothing I would have been concerned about if I were giving it to a kid. Target audience seems about 4th grade. The cover art is what initially attracted me to the book.

The characters are idiots
Almost all of the conflicts could have been avoided if the main character wasn't such a liar and if mister Greggory didn't choose kids. Adults would not have done such stupid things like stealing. The characters don't understand that by breaking the law for information they aren't helping anyone.

Love it
Awesome storyline with facts and fiction. Combines science and mystery perfectly. A great read for all ages. I love that there's a real experiment you can perform at the end of the book

Amazing book!!
I love the book and I also love the way how the author included science into the book without making it boring.

Best book for seventh graders
This is a great book which will surely encourage young students to contribute to science with a spy story mixed into

Science, mystery, adventure
Fun read for schoolchildren.
Made science seem easy and unintimidating.
Not happy about the book ending in the middle of the story though.
