What begins as an attempt to catch a stray dog quickly turns into an adventure of a lifetime for Watson, Crick and Rosalind. The clever canine tricks them into entering a forgotten gateway that leads to the land of Gaia. There, they discover a wondrous world filled with majestic griffins, squabbling shell-less turtles, giant carnivorous plants and mischievous long-nosed snodlops.
The three teenagers soon discover that they were summoned to solve a crime – a crime that if they don’t solve, will leave them stranded on Gaia forever!
Following the suspect’s trail, the kids find clues, but are unable to decipher their meaning unless they conduct a series of science experiments. Lacking both time and resources the characters in the book ask readers to help by posting the experiments online. (They are also posted in the back of the book.)
It is now up to the readers to help Watson, Crick and Rosa catch the thief and get home by conducting experiments and analyzing the evidence.
Help! Time is critical, and they’re running out of it!
