PG is getting on in years, and he bought a brilliant cherrywood cane to help him walk. PG named the cane Harvy, and the two became great companions. The special thing about Harvy is that he can talk. He has the inquisitive mind and vivid imagination of a child and a special curiosity about sciences. The story begins at JFK airport where Harvy is entranced by escalators, and he wonders where the moving stairs go once the basement fills up. Harvy also wonders about the origins of this mystical force called gravity. He's fascinated by the laws of buoyancy, flotations, and the wonders of flight. Why don't airplanes have to flap their wings like birds to fly? Why can hummingbirds hover without having rotating blades like helicopters? A fiction book for children, The Amazing Scientific Adventures of Harvy, a Brilliant Cane offers a fun look at science and space through the eyes of a talking cane. "Blending together the perfect mix of scientific facts and fantasy, this thought-provoking the book will spark curiosity and wonder in all the budding middle-grade scientists who venture into the fascinating world of Harvy, the Brilliant Cane. Harvy's engrossing and inspiring story teaches and entertains on every page. Thank you Dr. Weinbaum for creating the quirky character of Harvy, who makes learning about science on experience to remember."
