In this latest installment of Larry Hench’s fascinating engineering and science series for children, Professor George calls upon our leading lad Daniel and his trusty companion, Boing-Boing the bionic cat, for a critical task. Explorers from the London Science Museum have travelled to the Amazon in search of a special plant that will treat nerve illnesses in young people. However, they have disappeared in this largely uncharted and mystifying part of the world, and now it is up to Daniel, Professor George and their famous bionic cat to help find and save the explorers:

CHAPTER 1 EXCERPT: “Dan, there is a serious problem. The Science Museum called me an hour ago. One of their scientists is on a team exploring this part of the Amazon. The Museum received a strange text message, but when they tried calling the cell phone back the line was dead. They’ve heard nothing more since the text.”
“What was the message?” Daniel asked, worried.
“It was very short, only five words. It was obviously sent in a rush. The message was:
HELP
WHITE
CAT
DEATH
HURRY
“What does it mean?” asked Daniel.
“The Director is not sure,” replied Professor George. “He is very worried. The team had been keeping in touch daily. They have a GPS system to keep track of where they are since it is such a wild country. There has been nothing since this message and the GPS is off as well.”

It would seem that a challenge this big could only be suited for our bionic cat, except…Boing-Boing can’t complete this mission on his own. Even with his incredible bionic features, the Amazonian terrain is too rough and unpredictable for him. What is Professor George to do? Simply give up? Never.

Perhaps, the answer is a new invention. Something that can overcome the difficult terrain. A brand new bionic friend who can fly over the tall trees–Bit-Bit the Bionic Butterfly! With the ability to camouflage its wings while exploring and stream video, Bit-Bit is Professor George’s answer for seeking out an isolated tribe: one who can turn invisible…one who might be holding the explorers captive…and one who might be dangerous.
