A couple new Secret Science Alliance news-type items: Here's a new profile/interview with Eleanor that's pretty cute, they even made a little "baseball card" with her "statistics." Here's a new review that tickled us with flattering comparisons:

"Some of my favorite books are what I call small town adventures. They're set in an older, more innocent time when kids could sneak out at night for adventures and build marvelous inventions in their backyards. Some of the best are the Mad Scientists' Club by Bertrand Brinley, Secret Agents Four by Donald Sobol, and the White Rose Rescue by Astrid Lindgren. Although some have tried to recapture this genre, it never quite works. Until now. (Read the rest here.)

And yup, Eleanor and I will both be at this year's SPX (Sept 26 & 27, Bethesda MD), and Elo will have copies of The Secret Science Alliance! Our table will be in the back left corner of the room as you come in. Just look to the left of the giant floating supernatural Helvetica A.
