About this book
Roscoe Wizzle is an ordinary kid with a best friend and a favorite new burger place—until he begins changing in very un-ordinary ways.

This short, funny, slightly spooky mystery keeps readers turning pages without being too scary. Great for middle-grade readers who enjoy quirky humor, offbeat mysteries, and a touch of the fantastical.
