Produktbeschreibung

Joab and Dina - thirteen and twelve years old - live in a little desert town in Israel. In the holidays, they solve scientific detective mysteries with the help of their big German shepherd dog, Blacky - a hobby that their mother dislikes.

This time, mysterious letters on bee orchid flowers endanger an elderly scientist. Hot on the trail, Joab and Dina surf the web, learn about genetic engineering, explore orchids, identify gold, send their dog on an electronic surveillance mission and have other exciting adventures as they seek to solve the puzzle.

At the end, when the big soccer match between two school teams takes place, and everybody is at the stadium, everything falls into place - what Joab and Dina discover is nothing like what they expected.

Interestingly, the author introduced independently the concept of the GPS, alongside a simplified technical explanation, since at the time the book was published (2003) he was not aware of the invention. In the book "GPS" is not mentioned and it is described as an electronic surveillance system using a dog collar tracking monitor and it is also suggested as a possible method for recovering stolen cars.

Autorenporträt

Julian Rubin lives in Israel. By profession, he is an electronics and computer technician and those were the positions he held in the Israeli Army Signal Corps. He earned his Bachelor's degree in math and Jewish history at the Open University of Israel. He makes a living as an information specialist and as a math, English and science high school teacher.
His first juvenile novel, The Orchid Grower, reflects many of his life experiences and interests. Its main goal is to present to the young reader several scientific topics fluently interwoven into an adventure plot in order to encourage science, web and computer literacy among the young. He prefers to write for the pre-puberty age, since these youngsters are old enough to understand and young enough not to lose optimism.
