I think that’s one of the ones I still have. Danny’s mother was the housekeeper for the stereotypical absent-minded professor. He creates a substance by accident that can be painted on objects and when charged with electricity, makes gravity repel instead of attract. It’s been a while since I read it, but considering it was written before Sputnik was launched, I recall it being reasonably realistic (assuming the existence of anti-gravity paint).
