Austin is into experiments: observing, recording, and theorizing about the world in order to come up with a set of rules. His science-minded brain is put to the test by his ailing grandfather's gift of a wish-granting star. Though the premise is convoluted and some of Austin's rules are sappy, the story will intrigue budding scientists.
