Top Secret

I'm writing this down in case something should happen to me. There's a brown car parked outside in the street with two men in it. They're watching the house...

So begins the highly confidential case history of Allen Brewster, the boy who has an amazing idea for his school science project: human photosynthesis, turning sunlight into food for humans. Everyone laughs at his outrageous scheme -- until Allen turns green, sprouts roots, and develops an overwhelming desire to soak up the sun. He's turning into a plant!

But no one will believe he isn't playing a practical joke. No one, that is, except the President of the United States ... who declares Allen a threat to national security. Suddenly Allen Brewster and his discovery are TOP SECRET.

Can Allen protect his classified discovery and ace his science project without being a threat to the country? Find out in this wacky and whimsical illustrated classic, in the tradition of Pippi Longstocking and Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle.
