Stu and the Sinister Second Serum

By Rebecca J. Chaney

Science should never be sinister.

Stu is finally enjoying life in Las Vegas, but life is never ordinary for someone who can stop time.

Especially when Stu meets a strange girl who seems to share his powers.

But when his scientist mother is kidnapped, Stu discovers that someone is trying to recreate the unique purple serum that gave him his abilities.

And use this liquid to turn people into a formidable time-stopping army.

Can Stu and his friends come up with a plan to save his mother and defeat a sketchy villain?

Only time will tell.
