Geeky Fab 5 Vol. 5: Smoky Mountain Science Squad

Description

What do you get when you put 5 girls (and a snarky cat) in a RV and send them to the Great Smoky Mountains? An adventure of a lifetime! Join Lucy, Marina, Zara, A.J., Hubble, Sofia and her abuelo on an unforgettable trip to explore nature and discover the centuries of history within the park. The Geeky Fab Five will be trailblazers and maybe even hug some ancient trees while they are at it as these geeky girls take to the woods, in their signature GF5 style. From bear sightings to the barely any wifi, these girls will rough it and hopefully make it out of the park in one piece.

LIZ LAREAU, M.A., co-authors the GEEKY FAB FIVE series with her daughter, Lucy, to inspire all girls to realize their potential and work together for a better world.
