Transcript

By Dave Barry & Ridley Pearson

The story takes place in many places throughout Toby's neighborhood, but the place where most of the action happens in is in Hubble Middle School. At the school there are a group of kids called the "ME Kids." They are the richest kids in the school and they make fun of everyone. They are the ones that get insanely good grades and cheat on there science fair projects. The teachers that the book introduces you to are Mr. P, The Hornet, and a weird janitor named JD. Since this story is told in 3rd person view, you later learn, more about JD, and who he really is. The story takes place in the timespan of about a month.

Characters

Toby is brave. In the book it says "The nurse placed Toby in the supply room, where all of his belongings were hidden. When the nurse turned around, Toby struck. He grabbed the envelope with his iPhone and shut the door. The nurse banged on the door over and over again." This shows that Toby is brave because he risked his reputation and life to grab his iPhone that would be able to turn him invsible with a click of a button. Without this daring act, America, would be completely blacked out in a hour.

Toby is sly. In the book it says "He banged his hand in frustration on the hood of a car. He looked to see what he banged on; it was a car. Just then a brilliant idea popped into his head. It was time to drive away." This shows that Toby is sly because thanks to his quick thinking, he realizes that they can escape this situation by driving away in a car. If Toby just stodd there in frustration and cried nothing would have happened.

Tamara is commanding. In the book it says "Toby knew something was fishy when a banging noise echoed in his ear. "Quick!" Tamara yelled. She moved her arms in a forward motion bringing everyone closer to the edge of the room. This shows that Tamara is commanding because she is leading her and her friends into safety. She is yelling at urging them to move. Tamara is athletic. In the book it says "She raced through the streets like a flash of lightning." This shows that Tamara is athletic because it uses a metaphor to show her speed.

Micah is humorous. In the book it says "“Nugget?" said Micah, offering a lump to Toby. "Thanks," said Toby. He took a bite and chewed thoughtfully. "I think maybe it is a squirrel." He said."" This shows Micah's humor and the fact that he can't be serious. They are trapped in a dead-end with nowhere to go and Micah is offering food out to people.

Micah is smart. In the book it says ""A very, very large dog, wide and hairy, like a cross between a rottweiler and a Goodyear blimp.”" This shows that Micah is smart because he knows lots of things. With his brain he can easily find out lots of things like what type of dog he is looking at or more hard problems like he does later in the book.

The conflict in Science Fair is the fight between good and bad. Toby and his friends are fighting off Krpshtskan and his vice-presidents. Krpshtskan's president sends his son Prmkt to go into America and take it over. He does this by getting high tech machinary from kids, who think they are just cheating on the Science Fair. They are, but they are also, assisting in creating a nuculear machine without them knowing! It is man vs. man.

The climax of Science Fair is when Toby, Micah, and Tamara, are taken into custody, by the USA government. Toby uses his magical iPhone and turns invisible to escape. He then goes to the science fair and saves the day by stopping the nuculear war from happening.

Toby is a 13 year old kid living with his Mom and Dad in a small neighborhood in Maryland. He lives a regular lifestyle until he tries too hard to try to get the ME kids in trouble for cheating on the science fair. When he tries to stop them from cheating, he doesn't realize that Prymt is upset because Toby is interferring with his plans to rule over America. He puts plasma rays in his locker causing the school fire alarm to go off and then he gets suspended. During his supesnsion he receives a mysterious message from a guy named "MrMysteriousMan." He tells him to go to Gorilla's Pizza Place at 10:30 at there will be a suprise in the gorilla's hat. Prymt also sends his vice-presidents over there as well. The vice-presidents don't know what they're doing and just follow the presidents lead or they will suffer. Since the government is supicious about the two vice presidents they see them approaching the gorilla and call in some cops. When they open the hat a small box comes out. Then, the room goes crazy, with SWAT officers and police men pinning the men to the ground. Toby was there at the wrong moment and wrong time, and he got arrested. This prevents him for being able to go to the science fair and stop Prymt from destroying the USA. Thanks to an iPhone that has a button that makes you invisible, he gets out of the high-security prision and goes to the science fair. There Prymt is working hard and shutting down the nations power grids. Everyone is in the gym waiting for the presidents speech. The presidents voice comes on... But his head is the head of the president of Kyrphastion! While all this is happening Toby and his friends are making there way through the school trying to look for a way to distract everyone to get out of the gym. Micah sees a HUGE container full of Coke and some Mentos next to it. He uses this science fair project to create a huge Coke explosion that requires everyone to leave the room. After they leave the gym Toby looks around for a door where the evil man is hiding. Sternabite, the owner of Nook's science shop, who helped the kids cheat on there projects, realized something was fishy. He went over to the school and he helped Toby fine the man. They split up and Toby finds Prymt. Prymt traps him in the closet but Sternabite comes in with his robotic spider and kills Prymt, managing to survive a tazer into his stomach.

The theme of the story is no matter what people say about you, you have to keep on trying. Toby was constantly questioned about his theory of the science fair problem, and no one believed him. He was alone with his 3 friends but thanks to some courage and brave skills he saved the world.

I enjoyed this novel a lot. It had the combination of suspense, humor, and action that any reader wants. The author was very good at switching the tone from humor to drama in less than a page. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys science fiction books and action books.

What I Thought

Conflict

Resolution

The resulution in Science Fair is when Toby and Sternabite work together to unplug the science fair projects so that Prymt can't use the projects to create a huge nuculear weapon. Using tools like invisible powers, huge hotdog cars, and assassin spiders, they manage to fight off Prymt long enough before a nuculear war.
