"Bugs. Biomimicry. Big imaginations. A S.T.E.A.M.-focused series for kids about the amazing nature of, well…NATURE. Tiny inventors, huge adventures! Is this trio of troublemakers meant for more than the forest floor? Follow the Weevil Geniuses, their snail pal Blaze (a forest floor influencer with an obsession with their TickToad account), and a few nefarious enemies—like Wortimmer the Third, a toad-ally evil villain. With their wild imaginations, plus lots of wacky gadgets and gizmos, the Weevil Geniuses use the amazing powers of nature (biomimicry!) to get out of—and into—mischief."

Deanna Kent and Neil Hooson's agent Jordan Hamessley at JABberwocky Literary Agency did the three book deal.
