Simon Bloom, the Gravity Keeper

the long version

This is a fun, unrealistic novel about Simon, a sixth grader in a small, eastern town. Simon has an acute imagination and a useful interest in science, Physics to be exact. Michael Reisman takes readers on an incredible adventure into the Laws of Physics through Simon and his friends as they battle for control of the Universe. In addition, Reisman adds a surprise element to the novel by bringing in an unusual character not usually found in children's literature.
