Itch: The Explosive Adventures of an Element Hunter (Itch, 1) by Simon Mayo, April 2, 2013. Published by Splinter.
Thrills. Danger. And world domination. Itch is as action-packed and suspenseful as a middle-grade novel can get!
Fourteen-year-old Itchingham Lofte, nicknamed Itch, has an unusual passion: collecting specimens of every element in the periodic table. So what if that means he's had a few ... mishaps? But when he gets his hands on a suspiciously warm rock made of a new, previously unknown element, things really begin to explode. Soon, a malevolent teacher, an evil-doing corporation, and a top-secret government agency are all after Itch. Can his science know-how keep him one step ahead of everyone...and help him stay alive?
Why: If you've read the synopsis then you'll know why I want to get my hands on this one. Itch just sounds like one fantastic and crazy ride.
