Waylon! One Awesome Thing (Waylon! Book 1): Waylon
Autor Sara Pennypacker Ilustrat de Marla Frazeeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 apr 2017 – vârsta de la 6 până la 8 ani
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.
Arlo Brody is dividing the fourth grade boys into two groups. Waylon would rather be friends with everyone. Well, everyone except the scary new kid, Baxter Boylen.
Waylon's older sister, Neon, is shooting away from the family. He wishes everything would go back to the way it was before she started wearing all black and saying "What's the point?" all the time.
Just when it looks as though Waylon's universe is exploding, something happens to bring it all together again, and it is, without a doubt, One Awesome Thing.

Recenzii
*"Pennypacker
is
at
her
best
here,
creating
vivid
characters
and
showing
the
subtly
shifting
connections
between
them.
Alternatively
laugh-aloud
funny
and
melt-your-heart
tender,
this
illustrated
chapter
book
is
a
great
read-aloud
choice
and
a
memorable
find
for
independent
readers."—Booklist
(starred
review)
"In Pennypacker's skillful hands, Waylon is an appealing every kid whose passion for science just might spark readers' curiosity as he contemplates ideas from angstroms to alien hand syndrome. VERDICT: A winning, welcome new series for chapter book readers."—School Library Journal (starred review)
PRAISE FOR COMPLETELY CLEMENTINE
"This Clementine series spin-off features another likable kid with lots of heart. Give this to readers who enjoy realistic school stories with a tinge of scientific inquiry."—Horn Book
PRAISE FOR COMPLETELY CLEMENTINE
"Pennypacker puts a pleasing bow on the popular series, giving Clementine a complicated family situation to deal with and allowing her to explore the feelings that come with being angry at someone you love. 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."—Booklist

PRAISE FOR COMPLETELY CLEMENTINE
"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."
