Parker and Cassie are BFFs. They both love science, collecting data and figuring out how to solve problems. Parker knows Cassie will be the perfect partner for the school Science Triathlon. But the girl’s friendship is tested when Theo, a quiet boy from school, joins the duo. Suddenly, the pair is now a triangle.
Parker's heroes Jane Goodall and Mae Jemison are her inspiration as she figures out being a good friend, the value of teamwork and risk taking. In addition to the girls’ love of STEM, Platt debunks other gender stereotypes: Cassie’s mom teaches math and Parker’s dad owns a bakery. In the end, both the reader and Parker learns the value of scientific inquiry and open mindedness.
