The Rubber-Band Man (The Voyages of Simeon Carter and Peter Truman Book 6)
About
Most teenagers worry about final exams or fitting in. Simeon Carter just has to worry about his hands dragging on the pavement.
It was supposed to be a normal winter break in Gemburg. But when Simeon accidentally gulps down a glass of his best friend Peter Truman’s latest invention—Queen Fisher Oil—“normal” goes right out the window. Instead of a refreshing drink, Simeon gets a dose of experimental science that turns his entire body into a living, breathing rubber band.
Suddenly, Simeon isn’t just a high schooler; he’s the Rubber-Band Man. He’s accidentally catching bank robbers, launching himself five stories into the sky, and trying (and failing) to look inconspicuous in the middle of a math test.
But the fun and games end when a mysterious figure known as Professor Dark arrives in town. With Peter’s uncle kidnapped and a group of innocent children in danger, Simeon must master his malfunctioning new body before it’s too late. From high-speed chases to a desperate rescue mission in a failing private plane, the stakes have never been higher.
In a world of high-tech gadgets and low-down villains, can a boy with elastic arms and spring-loaded legs snap into action and save the day?
