Joab and Dina - thirteen and twelve years old - live in a little town in Israel. In the holidays, they solve scientific detective mysteries with the help of their German Shepherd dog - a hobby that their mother dislikes.
This time they are engaged in a mystery that involves a few interrelated scientific hot topics like ethanol fuel, solar energy, genetic engineering and photosynthesis.
The mystery is about the race between two renewable energy companies to be the first to invent a new promising technology.
On their way, they find a lost dog, compete in a chess tournament, investigate a deserted farm on a dark night, participate in a treasure hunt game and are stuck on the top of a Ferris wheel at the Luna Park.
A science fair event is running in the background and at the end, when Joab and Dina present their project, everything falls into place and the mystery is unfolded.

Species of Summer

7 parts Complete

Jesse Andrews is from Nebraska. The only language he knows is English. He's never been outside of the US, except for that one time his family went to Montreal. Despite of all of this, Jesse's mom decides that it's a good idea to send him to Israel for the summer. She wants him to "get in touch" with his heritage. He doesn't really have any other options, so he travels to the controversy capital of the world. There, he stays with the Gezer family and quickly befriends their three teens and twenty-something. Through these Israeli teens, Jesse is exposed to an entirely new culture and language and country. But regardless of the obvious differences, Jesse learns that no matter where you go, teens are teens. They throw parties and they drink and they screw up and they live. The only things separating these two types of teens is an ocean and a language. But when you can swim and speak, is there really that much of a difference?
