It’s summer vacation, but twelve-year-old Raksha isn’t doing much relaxing. There is one project left before her Science Squad team earns their last badge (and a trip to Hawai‘i on the line!), when she gets an opportunity to attend a highly competitive fashion camp that is too good to pass up. It isn’t long before her Science Squad work hunting for zombie bees is taking over her life. She hardly has time to prepare for her fashion camp runway show.

Ever since his family moved to Texas, nothing seems to be going right for Bertie. He manages to alienate most of the Science Squad at the first meeting before they even begin their project. And things just keep getting worse. The other Squad members avoid him, and their project, to catch and tag monarch butterflies, proves surprisingly hard. Plus, something strange is going on with the few specimens the Squad does find. With the calendar counting down the days, and the butterflies migrating farther south for the winter, can Bertie solve the mystery and still collect enough butterflies to release at his school’s Day of the Dead festival?

Anthony Briggs hates pigeons, and for good reason. Thanks to his funny way of walking and his leg braces, his classmate TJ started calling him “Pidge,” a nickname he’d love to dump. So when the Science Squad recruits students for a project to solve why pigeons come in so many different colors, Anthony is anything but interested . . . until he learns that the reward is spending a night at the Natural History Museum. He signs up in a flash, and ends up paired with TJ. Anthony is stuck listening to TJ’s insults and doing two people’s work. Can he stick it out to win the museum overnight? Or will the birds get the best of him again?
