All it takes to start a summer adventure is a pinch of powder!

It's the longest hottest summer of all time and siblings Jim and Carrie are being forced to spend it in their dreary new town of Claremont Ohio.

There's more to Mrs. Simonson from down the street than meets the eye. She's a pulvologist-a scientist that makes powders that can dye hair green and make broccoli taste like chocolate. In her laboratory she dreams of inventing a powder that turns things invisible.
