Description: Twelve-year-old Max is known for being cautious—but when he steps into a summer science camp, he finds himself paired with slug-obsessed kids, wacky experiments, and an escalating rivalry that pits genius against creativity. What begins as a competition erupts into a “slugfest” of slime, mishaps, and unexpected friendships. With Korman’s signature humor and fast pace, the story celebrates teamwork, curiosity, and learning from mistakes. It’s a hilarious reminder that sometimes chaos is the best teacher.
