Smart guys

by Carrie Lewis

Meet the Kids in Group Three. Dave: He just wants to have a good time - and to get to know a certain girl better. Taylor: Dave's dream girl. She'd make Miss America look like a dog. The only trouble with Taylor is, she doesn't know how to relax. Benson: He could star in a nerd movie. Definitely the clumsy-genius sort. Frieda: She's cute but hyper, with a nonstop mouth. She's also great at organizing - one guy in particular. James: With his high-fashion clothes, he may look well-put-together, but he's a real airhead until he gets in a lab. Five special teens are spending the summer working on a top-secret project. Just how much trouble can they get into?" Quite a bit, it turns out. Especially after they decide to look into the supposedly accidental death of their project's original inventor, and suddenly find themselves knee-deep in a murder investigation and conspiracy reaching as high as their school's administration, and quite possibly the US Military.
