Something strange is happening to the sixth gradeāand itās up to student scientist Wilmer Dooley to crack the case in this hilarious mystery āfilled with entertaining twists and nutty charactersā (Publishers Weekly).
If thereās one important thing Wilmer Dooleyās dad always says, itās this: āWhere are my car keys?ā
Okay, maybe not that. He also says: āObserve!ā
Wilmer has always known that the greatest science comes from the keenest observations. So when he observes his classmates looking a little greenā¦and orange...and chartreuse-fuchsia polka-dotted...he knows that itās up to him to find the cause of this mysterious illnessāand 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 itās too late?
