Book Synopsis

Gavin is sad that his friends next door are moving away, especially when he realizes that Harper, the biggest bully at Carver Elementary, is moving in! Meanwhile, competition at the school science fair is heating up, and Calvin must decide what to do when his data doesn't prove his theory. Can Calvin avoid trouble with Harper and still win the science fair?

Gavin y sus amigos no saben bien qué pensar de Keops, su nuevo compañero de clase. Es indudable que no actúa como los otros niños ni se les parece... ¡y ellos sospechan que se ha robado la bici de Gavin! Mientras tanto, Myrtle, la tía abuela de Gavin, está nuevamente de visita, y Gavin está seguro de que se pondrá del lado de su hermana para mandonearlo todo el tiempo. ¿Sobrevivirá Gavin a la tía Myrtle? ¿Podrá entender qué es lo que realmente ocurre con el niño nuevo?
