1-3Carver Chronicles series.
Illustrated by
Laura Freeman.
Calvin is convinced he'll win the science fair with his project hypothesizing that boys are faster than girls. But his new next-door neighbor, bully Harper, has a vested interest in the science fair himself. As Calvin's theories on family, friendship, and gender are challenged, he grows as a person and a scientist. Black-and-white illustrations accompany the warm fourth story about the diverse boys at Carver Elementary.
