Childrens

Melonhead is my preferred name. Preferred by me, not my mom. She likes people to call me by my real name, Adam Melon. Luckily, it’s too late for that because when my friend, Lucy Rose, invented Melonhead, it caught
on fast.

Usually I am the one doing the inventing. All my life, which is 10 years, great ideas have been popping in and out of my melon head. Sometimes they work. This year they’d better, because our class is entering an inventing fair. My friend Sam and I are dreaming up plans. And Capitol Hill has a ton of places to find invention parts. We just have to make sure to get home on time, with no excuses. If we get first place at school, it will be Chantilly, Virginia Regionals, here we come!

The first book in an all-new series by Katy Kelly is nonstop adventure—and trouble. Meet Melonhead!

I have two boys - whom I'm desperately trying to interest in books. Do I want to enter today's contest? You bet I do!

Ooops. In my excitemnet I forgot to answer the question. The sequel is 'Melonhead and the Big Stink'. I'm claiming it as my 10-year-old moment!

Looks like a book my granddaughter will like and the sequel sounds like a smelly delight for kids. "Melonhead and the Big Stink'.
