But with a little help from chemistry--and her friends--Kate figures out a way to be in two places at once. That is, until she is late to pick up the ice cream cake, which means Liam won't have a birthday cake for his party! Will science be able to save the day? <p/>From Kate the Chemist, chemistry professor and science entertainer as seen on <i>The Late Show with Stephen Colbert</i>, <i>The Wendy Williams Show</i>, and <i>The Today Show, </i> comes a clever and fun middle grade series that is the perfect introduction to STEM for young readers! <p/><b>Make Your Own Rocket!
