Noah Grow is a bird-watcher. If you're picturing some kid in a big floppy hat, peering up into trees through giant binoculars . . . well, good job. That's exactly what he does. Right now, Noah is on a quest to find a wood duck. According to his calculations, aka the Drake Equation, the odds are good-really good-for spotting one.
That's why he gets off the bus at the wrong stop. And that's how he ends up running down a hill, crashing into a fence, and landing right next to a strange, glittery disk.
Noah and his best friends, Jason and Jenny, soon discover that the mysterious disk is, well, mysterious. It gives Noah peculiar powers. As things go from odd to outrageous, Noah is swept up in a storm of intergalactic intrigue and middle-school mayhem. There's much more at stake than Noah realizes.
Bart King delivers a hilarious sci-fi adventure with just the right mix of heart and humor that will have readers looking out for birds-and strange alien objects.

From the Author:
Hi, Bart King here. You know what? If I told you how much fun I had writing The Drake Equation, you wouldn't believe me. :)
And as an FYI, the School Library Journal reviewer quoted on this page gave one-star reviews to:--The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon (Whitbread Award, Man Booker Prize nominee, LA Times Book Prize, etc.)--Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt (a classic)--Owen by Kevin Henkes (a Caldecott Honor book)So I can't complain--any writer would be thrilled to be included in such excellent company!
