From the 180,000 acre campus of Maxxim Industries, fourteen year old girl genius and inventor Astrid Maxxim works alongside her father, Dr. Roger Maxxim, on projects to make the world a better place. Her latest invention is a flying scooter—the hoverbike. Is it the target of an international spy ring, or are they after secret Project RG-7, or Astrid herself? Astrid has something bigger on her mind though—high school. There’s a field trip coming, and the Spring Fling is right around the corner… And does Toby like her as much as she likes him?
Astrid Maxxim is my attempt to recapture the fun I had as a kid reading Tom Swift books. I wanted to write a story for young people that was both interesting and had that sort of innocence and optimism that were in the favorite books of my own youth.
