Illustrated by
Nick Iluzada.
Billionaire scientist Hank Witherspoon recruits three foster siblings (two with off-the-chart IQs and one with street smarts) to help him with his experiments and inventions. When the team heads to the McMurdo Station research center in Antarctica to investigate a scientist's claims of an important discovery, they find that she has disappeared. A fast-paced mystery ensues, with scientific information woven into the plot.
