Review:

"(The) characters are agreeable... and the focus on science is nice to see." - Kirkus Reviews "(Sid's) mother enrolls him in a private science high school on Goddard Island. It has a neat, college like setting where students are encouraged to explore what they love and everyone loves learning." - School Library Journal

"Part of the Sci Hi series, this fast-paced story is a fun way for kids to learn about science and Colony Collapse Disorder among honeybees. The sci-fi setting is nicely developed in the book's opening pages, where familiar, but futuristic, gadgets are utilized. Clear explanations of basic science and CCD are woven into the narrative. Emphasis is on action and excitement, and the story delivers in spades. Given its tech-savvy setting and factual insights, this highly readable book will gain favor with kids and teachers alike." --Library Media Connection May/June, 2014
