Is there a creepy creature lurking in Mossy Lake? Is an evil plot stirring? Is something shocking happening to Caitlin's cat Zappy - and can he be de-zapped? Would-be scientists and detectives will want to slip into their lab coats, dust off their test tubes and get on the case with Drake Doyle and Nell Fossey. To find the answers, kids will have to use such scientific principles as buoyancy and static electricity.
