Publisher Description
A funny and absurdist classic for fans of Gordon Korman and Jennifer Holm, about a boy who's convinced he can photosynthesize for his school science project ... and just maybe he can? I'm writing this down in case something should happen to me. There's a brown car parked outside in the street with two men in it. They're watching the house... So begins the highly confidential case history of Allen Brewster, the boy who has an amazing idea for his school science project: human photosynthesis, turning sunlight into food for humans. Everyone laughs at his outrageous scheme -- until Allen turns green, sprouts roots, and develops an overwhelming desire to soak up the sun. He's turning into a plant! But no one will believe he isn't playing a practical joke. No one, that is, except the President of the United States ... who declares Allen a threat to national security. Suddenly Allen Brewster and his discovery are TOP SECRET. Can Allen protect his classified discovery and ace his science project without being a threat to the country? Find out in this wacky and whimsical illustrated classic, in the tradition of Pippi Longstocking and Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle. Perfect for ... … Fans of The Superteacher Project by Gordon Korman … Budding scientists … Fans of Frindle by Andrew Clements … Science fair enthusiasts … Fans of The Name of This Book is Secret by Pseudonymous Bosch … Readers of The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids by Marcia T. Jones and Debbie Dadey
