In this book, Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, Angel, and Total get to go to Antarctica and play with the penguins!!! (You have no idea how much I've always wanted to do that!) Well, they're actually in Antarctica to help out some scientists who are studying global warming (climate change). You know, that huge problem that people (scientists) always seem to be talking about that no one can change, just prevent, and that in the next hundred years or so if nothing's done about it, we're all going to die of "natural causes" (tornados, hurricanes, floods, droughts, famines, etc.). So what better way to save the world? Plus, they get to have a little fun, familiarize themselves with their new skills, and hide out from the creepy government peoples who want to use those skills to take over the world! *insert evil laugh here*
But there are a lot of down-to-earth things happening, too. Max is still jealous of anyone-no, any girl-who so much as talks to Fang alone, Angel wants a baby penguin (don't we all?), and Total has found his true love. (Ok, I'll admit, that one isn't very down-to-earth, but, if you think of him the way he thinks of himself, it kinda is.)
