About this book
A third-grader agrees to be his friend's subject for a science fair project in hypnosis, and the results are hilarious—and awkward. He starts slipping into 'dog mode' at the worst times, barking and chasing things he shouldn't. With the fair coming up and classmates watching, he has to undo the experiment before his school reputation goes to the dogs. This quick, funny chapter book is great for early chapter readers who enjoy school stories and light science fun.
Setting: a contemporary third-grade classroom and neighborhood in the United States
