YOUNGER FICTION
Seuling, Barbara

Robert and the Weird and Wacky Facts

(2) 1-3 Illustrated by Paul Brewer. Rather than struggling with his schoolwork, as he did in the first two series entries, Robert Dorfman is now a confident reader devouring trivia books in the hopes that he and his best friend will win a slot on the Instant Millionaire TV show. Seuling taps into the everyday world of third graders, this time playing up their obsessive fascination with facts and downplaying the deeper conflicts of childhood.
