The Amazing Science Fair Project (Manga Edition)
Description
Are you afraid of Mice?
Amanda was terrified.
Sure, she and her friends had built a huge tree house and an awesome haunted house together - but now she was in way over her head. Those projects had been for fun - but this one was going to be marked!
She and her lab partners have to do a class project for the School Science Fair - but they have absolutely no idea where to start or even what to do. Have they finally met their match?
Meanwhile, the boys have big problems of their own, and the outcome of their project could mean life or death!
OK, maybe not actual death, but they could end up cold, wet and hungry, and with no electronics...for a whole weekend!
Join the Project Kids in their third big adventure as they come together to unravel the mysteries of Mice, Men...and Marshmallows.
Note: This book reads Right-to-Left in the traditional Japanese Manga format.

Persons
Gary M. Nelson, BSC, PMP (Gazza) is passionate about sharing knowledge and making Project Management concepts more accessible, particularly to new and aspiring Project Managers (of all ages). Said another way, he likes to tell stories to help convey complex concepts in a way that helps the concepts 'stick'. Who says learning shouldn't be fun?
Born in Calgary, Alberta (Canada), Gary moved west to B.C. at the very early age of 2, where he spent most of his formative years - aside from a 6 year stint where he learned to appreciate living in a very small town of 800 people. He then attended high school in Surrey, B.C. and went on to graduate from Simon Fraser University (BC, Canada) in 1989 with a major in Computing science and a minor in English - an odd but useful mix (a techie who can write clearly)!
Gary was tricked into becoming a Project Manager by his first manager, and has never looked back. His international experience includes projects in New Zealand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the US and Canada, working on projects in the Telecom, Student Information Systems, Local Government and Healthcare sectors.
Having wanted to write books since high school, it took many long years of successful procrastination until he finally felt he had something useful to write about, and wrote his first book of stories in 2012...on Project Management, of all things. Next, presented with the terrifying challenge of writing for children, he enlisted his youngest sons to be the first victims (reviewers and editors) and the Project Kids series of books were born. Several years on, he is amazed to see the books being translated into multiple languages, and reaching into schools and homes around the world.
He enjoys speaking and training, has presented at numerous events and conferences and is also the author and host of Gazza's Corner Project Management Blog and Podcast.
Gary currently lives in New Zealand with his wife, three sons and two cats, and is loving every bit of it.
