When I first saw this book, I immediately wanted to read it because I have a nephew named Waylon. I also had read Clementine and this book is written by the same author, Sara Pennypacker. Turns out, Clementine makes an appearance in this book, too. I believe it is the first in a series.Waylon is a fourth grade science whiz. He has many ideas including human gills and teleportation. He even starts recording his ideas in a journal. He loves dogs and likes to be friends with everyone. However, things in Waylon's life start to change. Arlo Brody, a boy in Waylon's class, wants to group all the boys into two groups. Waylon would prefer to just be friends with everyone, except for the scary new kid, Baxter. At home, Waylon's sister is distancing herself from the rest of the family. Waylon just wants things to be like they used to be. Waylon's world feels out of control...but something happens that just might bring it all back together.
If you like characters like Clementine, Henry Ribsy and Hank Zipster, you might really enjoy Waylon!
