Junior science geniuses Augustine, Celeste and Oscar can't believe their luck when they're accepted into an elite and mysterious science academy summer camp run by the elusive Inventor Quark.
From the moment they step inside the gates of Quark's Academy at the end of Molecule Drive, they know they're in for a week they'll never forget. But things at the academy are not quite what they seem, and the three quickly realise that they'll need to put their squabbles aside and their heads together if they're ever to get out of there alive...
A page-turning adventure for readers aged eight to twelve, QUARK'S ACADEMY is bound to cause a hair-raising reaction!

Perfect for inquisitive readers 8yrs+. Such a clever debut for Australian author, Catherine Pelosi. A combination of science, mystery and developing relationships in a fast paced read. It will have kids thinking hard about ethics and looking earnestly for answers to their burning questions.
In this brightly packaged book we meet science geniuses Augustine, Celeste and Oscar who are ecstatic to have been accepted into a mysterious summer camp, Quark's Academy. But the academy is not what they expected, and our main characters quickly realise that they have to work together to uncover inventor Quark’s scheme so they can get home safely.
This book is a wonderful literary extension to STEM activities in schools. I look forward to reading Catherine’s next book..
