That's why he hopes to get into Mr. Wozniak's class, where science is king. The classroom is lined with aquariums, and the students get to wear lab coats when they show the little kids around. Owen figures that the surest way to get himself and his best friend, Joseph, into Mr. Wozniak's class is for them to win first prize in the school science fair. But their "project," a uromastyx lizard named Chuck, turns out to be uncooperative, and Owen finds that he and Joseph may not have the same goals. It's hard to conduct an experiment when unruly personal feelings start undermining the scientific method. As squeamishness, competitiveness, and misunderstanding threaten to derail the boys' plans, only an inspired blend of science and friendship can get them back on track. Fast-paced and funny, this new story treats themes of competition, ambition, squeamishness, and loyalty in the appealing style Owen Foote fans have come to expect.
