(1) 1-3 Illustrated by Kevin Hawkes. Wesley is a nonconformist suffering rejection from classmates until he puts his school lessons to use and founds his own civilization. Beginning with the discovery of a new staple crop that Wesley christens "swist," the idea works superbly, its flowering caught equally well in text and illustrations. A language and counting system evolve to support his innovations; it's all here and it all fits.
Reviewer: Elizabeth S. Watson | Horn Book Magazine Issue: March, 1999
