(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Vivienne To. Nine-year-old Zack, tired of being pushed around by an aggressive turkey when he helps out at his grandparents' farm, sets out to build a "turkey-blaster trouble-shooter." When neighbor Josie and Zack's friend Matthew get roped in, the turkey-blaster takes on Rube Goldberg–level proportions. This story of eventual triumph over a manageable challenge features an engaging hero and well-rounded secondary characters.
