About this ebook
Twelve-year-old Andora ‘Andi’ Boggs and her new best friend Colin Carter couldn’t be more excited to attend the prestigious science camp at the local university in Killdeer, Ohio. Unfortunately, Discovery Camp’s curriculum appears to include much more than just chemistry and biology. From day one, the university is plagued by a series of pranks—missing markers, loose crickets, and stolen scales. Campus security blames the mysterious janitor Polk, but even though Andi agrees he’s acting suspicious, she can’t believe the gentle old man would do anything illegal. Then one prank goes too far and their chemistry professor is injured by an explosion in the lab, upping the stakes of the investigation. Andi and Colin must unravel the secrets behind the chemistry department and Polk’s dark past before danger closes the camp for good.

Reviews for Andi Under Pressure
8 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Andi Boggs and her friend Colin Carter are again up to their ears in mystery/intrigue with the need to solve who is behind a series of pranks/dangerous stunts that threaten to close their science summer camp. Their curiosity and tendency to venture into places, persons, and experiences that would cause more mature people to give pause, makes for the "under pressure" situations the title alludes to. This is a quick read and should interest the kids market towards which it is directed.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I love a mystery. My first experience with mystery novels was, of course, Nancy Drew. I loved becoming part of a team uncovering clues to solve a case. For a new generation, Amanda Flower has created Andi Boggs and her case-solving adventures. In book 2 in the series, Andi Under Pressure, the young sleuth and her partner, Colin Carter, look into the mishaps at a summer science camp. The slightly nerdy duo are tenacious in their quest for answers.Andi Under Pressure is perfect for girls. The heroine is a math and science whiz finding her way in a new town and family. Andi’s parents were killed in a plane crash, and she and her sister must now make a home with her aunt. Readers will have a lot to think about besides the mystery — what makes a family and what is important in our closest relationships. The pitfalls of being the new kid are explored as well.So if you are looking for a book to please the mystery-loving child in your life, be sure to check out Andi Under Pressure.Recommended.Audience: kids ages 8-12.(Thanks to Zonderkidz for my review copy.
