A new mystery unfolds when Emily and Sam get a new neighbor!
Emily and Sam are excited to see a moving van next door, but the new neighbor isn’t quite what they were hoping for. He doesn’t have any kids, seems grumpy, wears a weird white lab coat, and he keeps getting heavy boxes delivered to his garage.
Could he really be a mad scientist? And could he have something to do with their friend’s missing dogs? The siblings can’t accuse him of anything without evidence, so they set out to use the scientific method to prove he’s up to something.
The second chapter book in the Emily and Sam series offers opportunities to investigate alongside the siblings to solve the case of the mad scientist next door!

Matty Mitchel was born and raised in Australia but found his way to Seattle eleven years ago and has recently moved back to Fremantle, Western Australia with his wife, son, daughter, and dog. If Matty’s not chasing (or being chased by) his two munchkins, he’s drawing, and if he’s not drawing, then he can be found making something creative, and if he’s not creating something, then he is skateboarding, and if that’s not the case, then he is probably snuggling with his lovely wife on the couch watching TV
