Summary
Summary
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 thinks most problems can be solved with science. But when it comes to having to share a dog with Baxter Boylen, science may not be very helpful. Baxter is the closest thing to a juvenile delinquent Waylon has ever met. He's always getting called to Principal Rice's office, and now he's even having meetings with the chief of police. At least the two boys can visit their dog, Dumpster Eddy, while they're at the station. Eddy is behind bars in the Stray Animals' Lock-up. When a new Animal Control officer takes over, it looks as though the dog's days are numbered. Waylon comes up with a science-y plan to save Eddy, but can he trust Baxter to help him carry it out?

Horn Book Review
Fourth grader Waylon and his classmate Baxter (the closest thing to a juvenile delinquent [Waylon] had ever encountered) are dog lovers with a problem: if they dont find a permanent home for Dumpster Eddy, a stray who keeps getting locked up at the police station, hell end up in a shelter. Gebauers youthful voice and earnest delivery are an apt fit for this material, in which the tenderhearted Waylon, from whose point of view the story is told, finds his plans repeatedly thwarted but never quite loses hope. Gebauer pitches his voice higher to reflect Waylons skyrocketing nerves and lower to convey Baxters relative worldliness, and he makes authority figures sound mildly obtuse to reflect the way that kids see adults who just dont understand. nell beram (c) Copyright 2018.

Booklist Review
In this sequel to Waylon! One Awesome Thing (2016), Waylon is reluctant to befriend Baxter, a classmate who seems to be frequently in trouble with their fourth-grade teacher, the principal, and his own father. But the boys' joint effort to save a stray dog forms a strong bond between them. Once again, Pennypacker offers an involving early chapter book with well-developed characters and a story line that feels both fresh and timeless. The book's wide-spaced lines and appealing black-and-white illustrations give the pages an inviting look, while Waylon's dilemmas, actions, and reflections will draw readers into this satisfying narrative.--Phelan, Carolyn Copyright 2017 Booklist
