I received an advance copy of this book from the publisher.
When I first started reading, I remember loving the Cam Jansen series because I always love a good mystery and it was fun to find a series with a plucky girl detective. I was happy to hear that the author of the Cam Jansen series, David Adler, is back with new new series for young readers.
Fourth-grader Danny Cohen's new friend is a little eccentric. Calvin Waffle is curious about everything and likes to try unusual experiments. Including challenging the teacher's list of rules. He even asks Danny to fill his pockets with jellybeans but NOT eat them.When Calvin figures out a way to predict the opposing pitcher's throw at Danny's baseball game, Danny thinks he has a secret weapon. The only problem is that Calvin doesn't like baseball. Danny and his friends must convince Calvin to change his mind so that they can win the big game.
This fun story is told through both words and drawings so it makes a nice transition from picture books to chapter books. The characters are fun and kids will really enjoy Adler's doodles throughout the book.
