Overview
Feaver Fever in Spillage Village is a tale about a young alligator named Archie. Archie is passionate about science and engineering and loves to use his expertise to address challenges that often occur in his village. In this Tale of Whoa, Archie's village is invaded by hungry fish/beaver hybrid animals (aka Feavers) that have escaped from their cage and are terrorizing the villagers. In order to save the town from certain disaster, he uses math and science to get the Feavers back into their cage. After some thought, he manages to come up with a plan where he uses the buoyancy principle and math to size a log to save the day. There's one catch, however, if his engineering calculations are off just one bit, the Feavers will catch him and all will be lost. In the back of the book, there are math derivations and detailed illustrations that show kids just how Archie the engineer calculated the precise size of the log. This unique approach to learning math and science is sure to please kids of all ages.

Author Information
Nathan Phillips is a child at heart and loves the amazing world of science and engineering. He has earned both an undergraduate and graduate degree in mechanical engineering and has nearly a decade of professional experience working as an engineer in the aerospace discipline. Nate counts himself lucky and blessed to have worked on many cool projects over the course of his career. Some of these projects include doing structural analyses for the propellant structure found in the solid rocket boosters that powered NASA's space shuttle into space. In addition to working on hypersonic aircraft, Nate has also had the opportunity to fly all around the world to work as an engineer on supersonic jet aircraft. As you will find, Nate loves figuring things out. He started this planned series of books as a means to share his love and passion for math, science, and engineering with parents, teachers and kids of all ages. He believes that by mixing illustrated Tales of Whoa with a little rhyming these subjects come alive and become easier to understand. For more information, check out his website at www.TaTaEngr.com. This website contains supplemental information for this book as well as news on the next book he is currently writing and illustrating.
