Waylon! the Most Awesome of All
From the creators of the New York Times bestselling series Clementine comes another chapter book collection that will keep readers engaged and laughing until the very last page.
Waylon can't wait to participate in the Boston Science Expo on June 14. He's confident that his project will impress the crowd, and his idol, a famous astrophysicist, is sure to be in attendance. Maybe Waylon will finally get a chance to meet her! The Expo is on the same day of his sister's performance at the Beantown Repertory Theater. Neon has been preparing for weeks, ever since she won third prize in a New Voices in Boston Theater contest, and their dad has agreed to be the centerpiece of the show. June 14 is also the deadline Waylon's dad set for himself to sell his screenplay to Hollywood. Finally, Waylon's mom has a mysterious appointment that day that she won't talk about. It looks as though Waylon will be going to the Science Expo by himself. But at least there's that astrophysicist!
When Waylon's dad is summoned to Hollywood at the last minute, Neon is in dire need of a replacement. She trains her eyes on Waylon, and he has no choice but to be the stand-in, even though it means missing the Expo. It promises to be the most embarrassing night of his life . . . yet it could turn out to be the most awesome of all.
But what is Mom up to, anyway?

Eleven-year-old Waylon struggles with what to do when every family member has an important event on the same day he's supposed to present his science project--and maybe meet his scientist idol. The third entry in this heartfelt, humorous, character-driven series (a spinoff of the Clementine books) delivers lots of warm emotion, perfectly augmented by Frazee's expressive spot illustrations.(Copyright 2019 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston.
