The 7 Professors of the Far North

The 7 Professors of the Far North (Hardcover, Excellent condition)

Written by: John Fardell

Gr. 5-8. Three British children set out to rescue six elderly scientists who have been kidnapped by Professor Murdo, an evil genius in the classic evil-genius mold. (He is the sort of villain who shouts, “It’s time to prove to you all that I’m the greatest genius the world has ever known.”) Murdo is holding his victims on a remote island fortress in the middle of the Arctic Ocean. The children manage to get close to Murdo’s island by using a series of elaborate, improbable schemes and vehicles, and once on the island, they learn of Murdo’s greater diabolical plans of world domination. Small spot drawings contributed by the author will help pull young readers into this fast-paced, wildly far-fetched British import, that offers plenty of humor and suspense for adventure fans.
