Since landing on Meep, Blast Off Boy has met more than his fair share of 'out of this world' hurdles, including Advanced Nuclear Calculus, Quantum Chemistry, and Galactic Gym class. What next? A supersonic science fair, that's what! The clock's ticking, the project is just about due, and Blast Off Boy hasn't a clue what to do! Meanwhile, on Earth, Blorp is in seventh heaven! Science is his specialty, his love, his passion! He's confident he'll create a truly unique, never-before-seen, groundbreaking contraption. When his highly anticipated project is finally unveiled, however, Blorp realizes even the most sophisticated scientific research can yield some unexpected results. The inspiration for the Blast Off Boy and Blorp series came from Dan Yaccarino's experience of moving to a new home. Several nonerupting model volcanoes and pipe-cleaner atom molecule constructions earned him a solid C+ average in his third favorite subject, science.
