Susie's Shoesies...A Splendid Reward!

by Sue Levine

Overview

When the third graders at Merion Elementary School began researching their Science Fair projects, Susie Gardner pitched in to help her younger brother and his lab partner. As a fourth grader, Susie remembered this third grade science experience and knew what it would take for Bennett and Owen to win the competition. With the help of her glittery, red-sequined shoes, the brother and sister duo travel back in time to witness a remarkable award ceremony in a foreign land. The prize-winner helps the Gardner children learn how to deal with those who might try to sabotage their work, as well as how to design an impressive experiment when they return home. Susie and Bennett’s science investigation takes a surprising turn when they step in to help two of their friends face difficult personal problems. Once again, Susie questions whether her shoes are really magical or if there is some other explanation as to why she so vividly remembers these events from the past.
