What is Mia's Science Adventure: Romaine's New Hat?

In this educational, interactive sequel to the 1999 game Mia: The Search for Grandma’s Remedy, you control Mia the mouse as she wanders through her neighborhood looking for her mother’s new hat (which she foolishly borrowed without asking, then lost), at the same time picking up small jewels called sparklies. In her quest, she comes across a number of characters (some nice, others less so) who confront the player with a host of games and puzzles. Mia2 teaches kids basic science, from plant parts (flowers, leaves, and seeds) to fossil bones (assemble them to form a complete skeleton) to electrical circuits (connecting positive to negative). Not only is the game a fun brainteaser, but the female heroine will appeal to girls and boys alike.

Our only gripe is that after you play the game once through, it has limited replay value. Some questions are exact repeats, others are very similar. But the first time around, Mia2 is a fun, challenging adventure that kids will really enjoy.
