The Contagious Colors of Mumpley Middle School

Synopsis

Something strange is happening to the sixth grade and it s up to student scientist Wilmer Dooley to crack the case in this fast-paced novel full of humor and mystery.
If there s one important thing Wilmer Dooley s dad always says, it s this: Where are my car keys?
Okay, maybe not that. He also says: Observe
Wilmer has always known that the greatest science comes from the keenest observations. So when he observes his classmates looking a little green and orange...and chartreuse-fuchsia polka-dotted...he knows that it s up to him to find the cause of this mysterious illness and the cure.
But with his arch nemesis, Claudius Dill, hot on his heels; the eagle-eyed biology teacher, Mrs. Padgett, determined to thwart his plans; and a host of fluorescent classmates bouncing off the walls at increasingly dangerous speeds, can Wilmer prove he has what it takes to save the sixth grade from a colorful demise before it s too late?
