Publisher's Synopsis
Horatio Entwhistle was five years old when he blew up his bedroom for the first time-and nine when he did it yet again. So now, he does all his lab work in a shed out back, where he is currently focused on the less explosive but stickier task of discovering a solvent for his entirely too-successful Stupendous Glue.But Horatio's experimenting is suddenly interrupted when two sinister men snatch his geneticist parents. He soon realizes that the kidnappers will stop at nothing to gain his parents' anti-aging research-and he must act quickly.With the help of Ming Yi, female lock-picker extraordinaire, and Wheels, ingenious inventor whose turbocharged wheelchair can fly, Horatio sets out to find and rescue his parents. Can the three young friends foil the abductors' devious plot before it's too late?
