Famous scientist Dr. Learner has disappeared, and everyone wants to know if he's been kidnapped by rival scientists or if he's really invented an invisibility suit. Twelve-year-old math whiz and amateur detective Alice Jones is determined to find out. Alice's singular personality and intelligence are juxtaposed against those of her peers as the mystery wends its way to a surprise ending.

It's 1959 and Casey desperately wants to be a dancer--despite her total lack of training. She auditions for the School of American Ballet but instead receives a scholarship to the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance, where she thrives. Casey's overdone country-girl naiveté and her improbable opportunity strain belief, but her dedication rings true. Contrasts between novice dancer Casey and the aging Graham add poignancy.
