Illustrated by
Michael Chesworth.
Emma hopes her science fair project will prove who are better, boys or girls; but when she and her partners (best friend Louise and, eventually, two male classmates) try to carry out experiments, they realize the issues are muddier than they thought. Cartoon drawings illustrate this light, funny skirmish of the sexes, which will leave readers reflecting on what it means to think and act scientifically.
