Review: Andi Under Pressure by:Amanda Flower
About the Book:
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.

My Review:
Attending a Science camp--Discovery Camp, was suppose to be fun but Andi and Colin find themselves, once again on an investigation. Due to missing markers, loose crickets, and a stolen scale security at the camp is kicked in to high gear. Andi and Colin start to search for any clues that would lead them to anything behind these very mysterious pranks. But after the chemistry professor is injured due to an explosion in the lab, the security team tries to blame Polk, the janitor. As every explanation that they could come up with seems to go up in smoke, the two investigators find themselves in a pickle as to what to do now.
As the two-man investigation team start digging deep for clues, there are threats of the camp being shut down for good. Andi and Colin make a race against the clock to find the real culprit so that poor Polk can be cleared of any wrong doing. Andi Under Pressure, is recommended for middle school children and is part of a series that is well worth a look, here is a link to learn more.
