Dr Dyer's Academy Summary

Dr Dyer's Academy by Russell Stannard

Jamie isn't keen on the idea of boarding school, and when he arrives he's even more horrified to discover his science teacher doesn't seem to know what she's talking about. Then headmaster Dr Dyer reveals the secret purpose of his Academy. He trains selected pupils to infiltrate the media and industry at the highest levels. Their job: to actively muddle and delay scientific progress. He says this is to prevent harm to humans and damage to the environment. But is Dr Dyer entirely as he seems? Join Jamie and his friend Emily as they unravel the plot, expose Dr Dyer's real motive, and save the world from plunging into chaos. This enthralling novel raises fundamental questions about the use and misuse of science. It is also an entirely new and fun way to learn a lot of science. Also available on Faber Penguin Audiobooks.
