OMEGA CITY, by Diana Peterfreund

The story: Everyone thinks Eric and Gillian's dad is a crank--and a bad researcher. But Gillian knows someone trashed their house and destroyed their dad's work...all to keep the truth from coming out about the crazy scientist Aloysius Underberg. When their dad teams up with young, attractive Fiona as his research assistant, the kids know something is up. But they never expected their search for clues to Underberg's disappearance to lead them to the biggest secret of their (or ANYBODY's) lives. Problem is, they might solve the mystery of Omega City right before they die there.

June Cleaver's ratings: Language G; Violence PG; Sexual content G; Nudity G; Substance abuse G; Magic & the occult G; GLBT content G; adult themes (violent actions by bad guys) PG; overall rating PG.

Liz's comments: Both boys and girls with a head for sci-fi will like this one. Two thumbs up! (I personally think that rather than grades 3-6, this one is good through grade 8.)
