J.B.

## J.B. Watt

**Dr.** **J.B. Watt**, aka **J.B.**, is a scientist who serves as the science teacher at Newbury High School who made the tech for the local ghost-hunting operation and is also is the leader of the Ghost Hunters. She is a friend of Jack Davids, Parker L. Jackson, and Douglas Elton.

## Official Description

### Meet J.B. (Scientist Extraordinaire)

"*J.B. has spent all of her life in libraries, labs and garages, and she has mad skills in all things scientific, technical and mechanical. J.B. enjoys being the brains behind the local ghost-hunting operation, app, and all the gang’s ghost-hunting gear, while leaving all the messy work to the kids (Hey, they don’t seem to mind.) She eats, works and sleeps in her messy lab, except when she’s driving ‘Sweet Sally’, her old decked-out school bus. Also, she drinks waaay too much coffee."*

### Busy Inventing (2020)

"*J.B. is a master inventor and all-round genius. While her app still helps the team detect and capture ghosts all over Newbury, now she’s been hard at work on some new vehicles that will really change the way they hunt for ghosts."*

### Heroes of Hidden Side

"*J.B. is the awesome brain behind the entire ghost-hunting operation, and she doesn’t seem to be running out of ideas. In fact, we’d say her ideas only get more epic with time! For example, when her Sweet Sally school bus runs into a spot of trouble, J.B. gets right back to work and creates… a ghost-hunting fire truck! And it’s fully decked out, too. Could a ghost-hunting submarine be in the cards? Stay tuned."*

### Meet J.B. Watt (22)

"*J.B. is not a mad scientist, even though some might think you have to be a little mad to start that whole ghost-hunting operation and everything. She’s super smart, innovative, highly productive and always optimistic, no matter how much danger the kiddaroos (Jack and Parker) are in. She would love to go out and ghost-hunt herself, of course, but, uh, who would do all the lab work and maintain her school bus-turned-mobile-command-center, Sweet Sally?*"

### Busy Inventing (2020)

"*J.B. is a master inventor and all-round genius. While her app still helps the team detect and capture ghosts all over Newbury, now she’s been hard at work on some new vehicles that will really change the way they hunt for ghosts.*"
