(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Gillian Johnson. In this Lucy Rose spinoff, energetic ten-year-old Adam Melon, a.k.a Melonhead, has a knack for trouble (e.g., he gets stuck in a tree, requiring a Jaws of Life extraction). Also a budding inventor, he helps with his class's "reinvention" contest, making something new from recycled materials. Adam's good-natured hijinks, shown in spirited black-and-white spot art, make for an entertaining read.
