<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Waylon, a boy with the mind of a scientific genius and the vulnerable heart of an eight year old, is trying to understand his older sister and deal with changes among the kids at school"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From the creators of the<i> New York Times </i>bestselling series <i>Clementine</i> comes another chapter book collection that will keep readers engaged and laughing until the very last page.</b> <p/>Waylon has lots of ideas for making life more awesome through science, like teleportation, human gills, and attracting cupcakes by controlling gravity. But it's impossible for him to concentrate on his inventions when he's experiencing his own personal Big Bang. <p/>Arlo Brody is dividing the fourth grade boys into two groups.

Ingenious, too, is the way she finds for Clementine to finally resolve the situation, reminding readers that love can be as important as taking a stand. Frazee's illustrations always charm, and that's true here.--<i><b>Booklist</b></i><br><br><b>PRAISE FOR COMPLETELY CLEMENTINE: </b>The plot unfolds gently onward, seamlessly interweaving threads that are just right for their audience. Frazee's breezy pen-and-ink half-page, full-page, and spot illustrations capture Clementine's frenetic energy and goofy panache to expand upon already rich portrayals of her frazzled-but-loving parents, patient teacher, and similarly beset classmates. A warm, bittersweet sendoff for a beloved literary friend.--<i><b>Horn Book</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Sara Pennypacker</b> splits her time between Florida and Massachusetts, where she feels lucky to be able to write every day.
