Mark-- My husband, a science teacher, has been reading the Anthony Horowitz young adult series to his kids. The series is based on a 14 year old British boy whose uncle was killed during a spy mission. The organization drafts the teen into working for them. Each of the books in the series is full of science. In the one I am reading now, the young hero designs a snowboard out of an ironing board going through the process of aerodynamics and lift and drag--force and motion. It is interesting the way horowitz combines the science with the "spy tricks." The first book in the series is "Stormbreakers." The second is "Point Blanc." I am currently reading the third one--"Skeleton Key." it is good stuff and the kids are loving it!
