Wanda is a superstar--in her own mind. After posting a selfie taken with her droll, droopy-faced dog Wilbur, she scores millions of online likes. Hordes of admirers fill her street, and Wanda receives her fandom only to be snubbed by the crowd. They want "FLOPPY DOG!" Davis and Weing share author-illustrator duties for this expertly paced--and funny and topical--early-reader comic.

The secret invention notebook belonging to eleven-year-old Julian Calendar and his friends is stolen by an evil inventor. It's up to the young scientists to save their inventions and prevent another theft. This action-packed graphic novel also touches on issues including friendship and bullying. The cartoon-filled pages are visually stimulating but make the story somewhat difficult to follow.
