A Clementine spin-off with a male protagonist. Waylon is "the scienciest kid" from Clementine's class and a terrific character. Nice to see him star in his own series. Lots of great science facts and references are woven into the story. Kids will love Waylon's science journal full of wacky invention ideas, and some not so kooky suggestions too. 
 This first book in the series focuses on friendship dynamics between Waylon and the other boys in his class. In the end, Waylon teams up with an unlikely friend and they get to be heroes. 
 Kid Lit at its finest. Can't wait for the next installment in this series.
