In one hilarious experiment after another, the kids discover they can fly, switch bodies with one another, and even disappear. If only they could figure out how to undo all of this! Are one combustible stepfamily and two explosive chemistry sets a formula for disaster?

Important information about shipping and our shop


Please note that we normally send all overseas shipments by International Priority Air. Parcels are sent to a broker for sorting and then shipped by air the rest of the way. This method may add up to a week or more to normal delivery times but we use this service in order to keep our costs low and pass the savings on to you. Delivery times vary by region; anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks is the norm. Faster handling by USPS First-Class Mail International or Global Priority is also available. Please ask for a quote; prices are about double our regular overseas rates.

I'm not always able to get to the phone so your inquiries are best forwarded by email. I try to describe items carefully and completely but occasionally I'll make a mistake so please contact me if you're unhappy with your purchase. My goal is always to resolve any problems quickly and fairly. I list only a fraction of my books on eBay at any one time, so if you're looking for something you can't find please be in touch. I try to add new item 3 or 4 times a week so please check back often.
