The Wonder Lens Friends 1: Lissa Loves Bugs

By Tracy Blom

Perfect for fans of Babysitters Club and Zoey and Sassafras, The Wonder Lens Friends is a new beginner chapter series sure to delight STEM-lovers and readers of fantasy and mystery, alike.

A self-professed bug lover, Lissa comes across a miraculous magnifying glass on her ninth birthday that spews facts on anything it's pointed at, and it provides special, hidden messages. Sounds fun, but the forest and the garden behind Lissa's house is sick ― poisoned―and all the bugs and flora are in danger. Thankfully, before long she's summoned by a band of fireflies to help.

Things take an even stranger turn when the magnifying glass gives Lissa's friend, Wren, the supernatural ability to spit out scientific names, chemistry equations, and facts about bugs that she never knew before

Together, the two friends team up to investigate, all with the clock ticking. Will they save their community and discover what could be hurting their ecosystem?
