Science – Super Science Girls!
Explore the exciting world of science and read an exclusive Girls Want to Know interview with Sylvia Todd, the real-life inspiration behind Sylvia’s character, who created Sylvia’s Super-Awesome Maker Show when she was eight years old!
Sylvia thought this was going to be the perfect summer. She and her best friend Kristen had been dreaming to win the middle school science fair competition for years and couldn’t wait to put their experiment to the test at summer camp together. That is until Indra, the new “It” girl at school, tries to win Kristen’s friendship and undermine their plans.
Sylvia finds herself on the outside looking in as Kristen gets swept up into Indra’s cool world of fashion and friends. She discovers that sometimes things aren’t what they seem, as she learns the rewards of perseverance, the meaning of friendship and that being true to oneself is more important than winning.
