Summary

Science-Specialized Middle School is a young adult novel series written by Dr. Ber, a PhD in Energy Systems Engineering from Seoul National University and the creator of the popular Naver Webtoon Doctor & Doctor's Parenting Diary. Blending the genres of science, mystery, and school drama, the series introduces scientific concepts in a fresh and engaging narrative format tailored for teen readers.

The story seamlessly incorporates key topics from high school-level integrated science—such as absorption spectra, the birth and death of stars, the periodic table, and DNA sequencing—allowing readers to absorb scientific knowledge naturally through the flow of the story, without feeling burdened by textbook-style explanations. Five unique and lively protagonists explore a hidden mystery within their school, combining scientific reasoning with imagination and offering readers an immersive and intellectually stimulating experience.

Set in Science-Specialized Middle School, a fictional school founded by the major Korean tech company Cheonha Electronics to foster creative talent, the series follows five first-year students as they uncover secrets buried within the school. The story unfolds through a sequence of mysterious missions, puzzling scientific clues, suspenseful moments, and emotionally resonant character arcs. These elements together make the series highly adaptable for screen, with strong potential for drama, animation, or other visual formats. As protagonist Nagi and friends begin their quest with a clue titled “Where the Rainbow Ends,” they gradually uncover the truth by interpreting science-based hints—revealing their unique personalities and character development along the way.

Designed for teens who may find science intimidating, the series presents a structure that is easy to follow and highly enjoyable, making it suitable for adaptation into youth coming-of-age dramas or adventure school series. Its escape-room-inspired narrative design also lends itself to interactive media formats, such as web variety shows or gamified content. Shortly after its release, the series was licensed for publication in Taiwan and Russia, demonstrating its global potential.

With its compelling integration of scientific concepts, rich character development, scalable story structure, and genre versatility, Science-Specialized Middle School is a next-generation science storytelling IP poised for cross-media expansion. Not only appealing to teens, the series can also be enjoyed by family audiences as a fantasy of scientific imagination—combining educational value, entertainment, and content scalability into a single powerful narrative.
