Something strange is happening to the sixth gradeâand itâs up to student scientist Wilmer Dooley to crack the case in this hilarious mystery âfilled with entertaining twists and nutty charactersâ (Publishers Weekly).
If thereâs one important thing Wilmer Dooleyâs dad always says, itâs this: âWhere are my car keys?â
Okay, maybe not that. He also says: âObserve!â
Wilmer has always known that the greatest science comes from the keenest observations. So when he observes his classmates looking a little greenâŚand orange...and chartreuse-fuchsia polka-dotted...he knows that itâs up to him to find the cause of this mysterious illnessâand its cure.
But with his arch nemesis, Claudius Dill, hot on his heels; the eagle-eyed biology teacher, Mrs. Padgett, determined to thwart his plans; and a host of fluorescent classmates bouncing off the walls at increasingly dangerous speeds, can Wilmer prove he has what it takes to save the sixth grade from a colorful demise before itâs too late?
