Brooklyn Slade believed science wasn't science without upgrades. Unfortunately, those upgrades almost always ended in glitches.

After several embarrassing lab mishaps, Dad transfers Brooklyn to Timberline Elementary School for a fresh start. But finding mad scientist friends at her new school proves to be tricky.

Trying to impress the science club, Brooklyn brings one of her upgraded experiments to their Humans vs. Zombies meeting. One small glitch leads to a gigantic problem, and Brooklyn's dreams explode in an enormous cloud of white smoke, forcing her to face the facts... She is glitched!

Brooklyn swears off all science, determined to fit in with the other fifth graders. Too bad her best friend Hayden has other plans. He wants them to enter the school's science fair.

Can Brooklyn risk another glitch?
