A group of students at Namalundu secondary school--the great Namalundu scientists--are working hard on a special project they call "Project X".
They have been working on it for a very long time now, and some of them are slowly losing heart. Their odds of success, it seems, are reducing with each passing day. But Mary, their leader and the president of the Science Club is far from losing heart. She believes that the project is on the very edge of success. Her contagious enthusiasm keeps the fires burning in the rest of the scientists, and keeps them working almost madly on a cause they little understand.
