like cyborg insects
and tracking devices smaller than a grain of rice.
Some stay on the drawing board forever and some don't.
So, why not develop a jackalope? Reputed to have a vicious personality, the ability to mimic human voices, and savage killer instincts, jackalopes would make terrible pets - but might be terrifying weapons as well.
You'll have to read Project Jackalope for yourself to see if the Professor has created a true jackalope or if Jeremy and Agatha can keep it away from the scary guys in suits or if Jeremy finally passes science with his science fair project! Find this funny middle-grade book at your local library or independent bookstore.

My Recommendation:
Something is breathing in the clothes hamper! Why did Professor
Twitchett leave his super-secret project in Jeremy’s bedroom and then
disappear? It was one thing to run errands for the Professor, but this note
about “keeping the experiment safe” is crazy. Can it really be… a jackalope?!
Jeremy’s idea of a science fair project is Styrofoam planets,
but Professor Twitchett downstairs is a real scientist, even if he tries to
keep things hush-hush. Mom is allergic to furry things, so Jeremy has to let classmate
Agatha in on the secret so she can keep the jackalope in her apartment. When government
agent-type guys in suits start questioning everyone in their building, Jeremy
knows in his gut that he can’t give them the sharp-antlered rabbit.
The Professor’s assistant at the zoo research center hasn’t
seen him lately, and his desk is suspiciously neat. Ditzy old Mrs. Simmons thinks he’s bringing
her a dog in a bag when Jeremy hides in her apartment for a minute. The suits
show up at the junior high school, intent on getting answers from Jack. Soon
Agatha and Jack are on the run, taking the jackalope along, of course.
How long can they elude the scary guys in suits?
When will the jackalope start using his cloth-shredding
antlers on them?
Can jackalopes really imitate human voices to confuse their
prey?
Why did the Professor create a killer mutant bunny in the
first place?
