"Science, investigation, and driving. All three topics of interest for my 14 year old at the time. Since the three appear in one book, it looked like a winner to me. Well, that and I saw it as an opportunity for him to see the importance of driving safely. We no longer homeschool but I think I'm going to pull it out and have him read it again. This shouldn't be a problem because he thought the book was interesting,"
